: We examined the nighttime sleep habits associated with insufficient sleep quantity and poor sleep quality among healthy preschool-aged Taiwanese children. : The study population of this cross-sectional survey was a stratified random sample of 3 to 6-year-old preschool children from 19 cities and counties in Taiwan. A caregiver-administered questionnaire was used to collect information on preschooler sleep quantity (sleep duration and sleep latency) and sleep quality (sleep disturbances and disruption) and potentially related sleep habits. : Of the 1253 children for whom analysable survey data were collected (children's mean age: 5.03 ± 1.27 years), more than half (53.07%) engaged in bedtime television (TV)-viewing, 88.95% required a sleep reminder, 43.85% exhibited bedtime resistance, 93.6% engaged in co-sleeping (bed-sharing or room-sharing), and only 33.72% slept in a well darkened bedroom. Bedtime TV-viewing, co-sleeping, bedroom light exposure, and bedtime resistance were the primary predictors, without a bedtime TV-viewing habit was the strongest predictor analysed; it explained 15.2% and 19.9% of the variance in adequate sleep quantity and improved sleep quality in preschool children. : Sleep loss and poor sleep quality in preschool children could be alleviated, at least partly, by curtailing bedtime TV-viewing, limiting light exposure during sleeping, and reducing bed-sharing habit.
我们研究了健康的台湾学龄前儿童中与睡眠量不足和睡眠质量差相关的夜间睡眠习惯。
这项横断面调查的研究对象是从台湾19个市县抽取的3至6岁学龄前儿童的分层随机样本。通过一份由照顾者填写的问卷来收集有关学龄前儿童睡眠量（睡眠时间和入睡潜伏期）、睡眠质量（睡眠干扰和中断情况）以及可能相关的睡眠习惯的信息。
在收集到可分析调查数据的1253名儿童中（儿童平均年龄：5.03±1.27岁），超过一半（53.07%）的儿童在睡前看电视，88.95%的儿童需要睡眠提醒，43.85%的儿童表现出睡前抗拒，93.6%的儿童与他人同睡（同床或同房），只有33.72%的儿童在光线昏暗良好的卧室中睡觉。睡前看电视、同睡、卧室光线暴露和睡前抗拒是主要的预测因素，其中没有睡前看电视习惯是分析出的最强预测因素；它解释了学龄前儿童充足睡眠量差异的15.2%以及睡眠质量改善差异的19.9%。
学龄前儿童的睡眠不足和睡眠质量差至少可以通过减少睡前看电视、限制睡眠期间的光线暴露以及减少同床习惯来部分缓解。
