Sleep problems are one of the main health issues raised by families. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the sleep problems of pre-school children in Iran.
Five hundred and seventy-nine children aged 3-6 years were randomly recruited from 15 kindergartens in the city of Qazvin in Iran. The Iranian version of BEARS (Bedtime problems, Excessive daytime sleepiness, Awakenings during the night, Regularity and duration of sleep and Snoring) and the Children's Sleep Habits questionnaire (CSHQ) were completed by interviewers. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 19. The data were analysed with a Student's t-test, chi-square and Fisher's exact tests. A P value < 0.05 was considered significant.
The study population consisted of 299 boys (51.6%) and 280 (48.3%) girls with a mean age of 4.1 years (SD 0.8). The mean body mass index (BMI) of the children was 15 (SD 2.1). The average sleep duration among the children was 10:54 h/day (SD 00:48). They went to bed late (23:18 h SD 00:48) and woke early (09:26 h; SD 01:00). Daytime sleepiness was reported by 6.9% of the participants. The incidence of awakening during the night, sleep-disordered breathing and snoring was 13.9%, 1.2% and 2.7%, respectively. Most of the children shared a room with their parents (87%) (P > 0.05).
The children had sleep-related problems, including a late bedtime, delayed sleep onset, daytime sleepiness, midnight awakening, sleep-disordered breathing, and snoring. Sharing a room was very common among the Iranian children.
睡眠问题是家庭提出的主要健康问题之一。因此，我们旨在评估伊朗学龄前儿童的睡眠问题。
从伊朗加兹温市的15所幼儿园中随机招募了579名3至6岁的儿童。由访谈者完成伊朗版的BEARS（就寝问题、白天过度嗜睡、夜间觉醒、睡眠规律和时长以及打鼾）和儿童睡眠习惯问卷（CSHQ）。使用SPSS 19版进行数据分析。数据采用学生t检验、卡方检验和费舍尔精确检验进行分析。P值<0.05被认为具有统计学意义。
研究人群包括299名男孩（51.6%）和280名女孩（48.3%），平均年龄为4.1岁（标准差0.8）。儿童的平均体重指数（BMI）为15（标准差2.1）。儿童的平均睡眠时间为10:54小时/天（标准差00:48）。他们晚睡（23:18小时；标准差00:48）且早起（09:26小时；标准差01:00）。6.9%的参与者报告有白天嗜睡情况。夜间觉醒、睡眠呼吸障碍和打鼾的发生率分别为13.9%、1.2%和2.7%。大多数儿童与父母同住一个房间（87%）（P>0.05）。
这些儿童存在与睡眠相关的问题，包括就寝时间晚、入睡延迟、白天嗜睡、午夜觉醒、睡眠呼吸障碍和打鼾。在伊朗儿童中，同住一个房间的情况非常普遍。
