Background. Sleep difficulties, including insufficient sleep and inadequate sleep hygiene, have been prevalent among children. Sleep deprivation can lead to poor grades, sleepiness, and moodiness. We undertook this study to assess the prevalence of sleep abnormalities among elementary and middle school students in South Texas and how the groups compare with one another. Method. After approval from the appropriate school district for a sleep education program, a baseline survey was taken of elementary and middle school students, using the Children's Sleep Habit Questionnaire-Sleep Self-Report Form, which assessed the domains of bedtime resistance, sleep onset delay, sleep anxiety, sleep duration, night awakening, and daytime sleepiness. Results. The survey was completed by 499 elementary and 1008 middle school children. Trouble sleeping was reported by 43% in elementary school, compared with 29% of middle school children. Fifty percent of middle school children did not like sleeping, compared with 26% in elementary school. Bedtime resistance, sleep onset delay, and nighttime awakening were more common among elementary school students. Daytime sleepiness was more common among the middle school children when compared to elementary school children. Conclusions. Sleep abnormalities are present in elementary school children with changes in sleep habits into middle school.
背景。睡眠问题，包括睡眠不足和睡眠卫生不良，在儿童中很普遍。睡眠剥夺会导致成绩不佳、嗜睡和情绪多变。我们开展这项研究以评估南德克萨斯州中小学生睡眠异常的患病率以及不同群体之间的比较情况。方法。在获得适当学区对一项睡眠教育计划的批准后，使用儿童睡眠习惯问卷 - 睡眠自我报告表对中小学生进行了基线调查，该问卷评估了上床时间抗拒、入睡延迟、睡眠焦虑、睡眠时间、夜间觉醒和日间嗜睡等方面。结果。499名小学生和1008名中学生完成了调查。报告有睡眠问题的小学生占43%，而中学生为29%。50%的中学生不喜欢睡觉，而小学生为26%。上床时间抗拒、入睡延迟和夜间觉醒在小学生中更为常见。与小学生相比，中学生日间嗜睡更为常见。结论。小学生存在睡眠异常，且睡眠习惯在进入中学后会发生变化。
