Bedtime resistance and night waking are common sleep problems throughout childhood, especially in the early years. These sleep problems may lead to difficulties in neurobehavioral functioning, but most research into childhood sleep problems has not emphasized the importance of the developmental context in which disruptions in neurobehavioral and daytime functioning occur. We review the development of sleep as well as executive functioning (EF) in childhood and suggest that EF may be particularly vulnerable to the effects of these common childhood sleep problems because of its prolonged course of maturation. Behavioral problems associated with common sleep problems suggest poor self-regulation in the context of sleep loss, and developing EF skills play important roles in self-regulation. A research agenda that considers a developmental approach to sleep and sleep problems in the context of childhood EF performance is outlined to promote future research in this area.

睡前抗拒和夜间醒来是儿童期常见的睡眠问题，尤其是在幼儿期。这些睡眠问题可能会导致神经行为功能出现困难，但大多数关于儿童睡眠问题的研究并未强调神经行为和日间功能紊乱所处的发育背景的重要性。我们回顾了儿童期睡眠以及执行功能（EF）的发展，并指出由于执行功能成熟过程漫长，它可能特别容易受到这些常见儿童睡眠问题的影响。与常见睡眠问题相关的行为问题表明在睡眠不足的情况下自我调节能力较差，而发展执行功能技能在自我调节中起着重要作用。本文概述了一个研究议程，该议程考虑在儿童执行功能表现的背景下对睡眠和睡眠问题采用发展性方法，以促进该领域的未来研究。
