Sleep duration is known to be associated with depression and attention deficits in children, though the majority of studies have focused on adolescents. Attention problems and depressive symptoms related to sleep factors have not been studied simultaneously in the non-clinical child population before.
Sleep quantity, adverse bedtime behaviour, daytime sleepiness, poor attention and symptoms of depression were assessed using self-report measures. The participants were 11 years old (n = 439).
Short sleep duration during the school week is related to poor attention and high depression. It is not a significant predictor of low attention and high depression symptoms in logistic regression analyses. Instead, adverse bedtime behaviour and daytime sleepiness predict them highly significantly.
Short sleep duration is related to poor attention and depressive symptoms as suggested by previous work. However, the significant role of other sleep-related factors calls for further research.
已知睡眠时间与儿童的抑郁及注意力缺陷有关，尽管大多数研究集中在青少年。此前尚未在非临床儿童群体中同时研究与睡眠因素相关的注意力问题和抑郁症状。
采用自我报告测量法评估睡眠量、不良就寝行为、日间嗜睡、注意力不集中及抑郁症状。参与者为11岁儿童（n = 439）。
上学期间睡眠时间短与注意力不集中及高抑郁水平有关。在逻辑回归分析中，它并非注意力不集中及高抑郁症状的显著预测因素。相反，不良就寝行为和日间嗜睡对它们有高度显著的预测作用。
如先前研究所示，睡眠时间短与注意力不集中及抑郁症状有关。然而，其他与睡眠相关因素的显著作用需要进一步研究。
