This study determined the differences in screen exposure, sleep patterns and sleep disturbances, and the associations between these factors, among Jewish and Muslim children in Israel.
The participants were 1049 school children - 499 Jewish and 550 Muslim - with a mean age of 9.2 ± 0.7 years, who attended public schools in both urban and rural residential settings in 2014. They all completed the Sleep Self-Report questionnaire and the Screen Exposure Questionnaire.
Muslim children reported increased screen time, despite having fewer televisions and computers in their bedroom than Jewish children. Muslim children also reported earlier bedtimes and longer sleep duration, but greater sleep disturbances. Having screens in bedrooms and non-school days were related to later bedtimes and later wake-up times for all children. Children who spent four or more hours watching television or using a computer on school days reported significantly more sleep disturbances than children with lower usage.
Muslim children with a mean age of nine years reported longer screen exposure, earlier bedtimes and longer sleep duration, but more sleep disturbances, than Jewish children. Cultural sleep practices may contribute to the differences in sleep patterns and sleep disturbances of Jewish and Muslim children in Israel.
本研究旨在确定以色列犹太教和伊斯兰教儿童在屏幕暴露、睡眠模式和睡眠障碍方面的差异，以及这些因素之间的关联。
参与者为 1049 名学龄儿童，其中 499 名为犹太儿童，550 名为穆斯林儿童，平均年龄为 9.2 ± 0.7 岁，于 2014 年在城市和农村居住环境的公立学校就读。他们均完成了睡眠自我报告问卷和屏幕暴露问卷。
尽管穆斯林儿童卧室中的电视机和电脑数量少于犹太儿童，但他们的屏幕暴露时间却更长。穆斯林儿童的就寝时间更早，睡眠时间也更长，但睡眠障碍更多。所有儿童的卧室中都有屏幕和非上学日与更晚的就寝时间和更晚的起床时间有关。在上学日看电视或使用电脑超过 4 小时的儿童比使用时间较少的儿童报告有更多的睡眠障碍。
平均年龄为 9 岁的穆斯林儿童报告了更长的屏幕暴露时间、更早的就寝时间和更长的睡眠时间，但睡眠障碍更多，这与以色列犹太教和伊斯兰教儿童的睡眠模式和睡眠障碍存在差异有关。文化睡眠习惯可能是造成以色列犹太教和伊斯兰教儿童在睡眠模式和睡眠障碍方面存在差异的原因之一。
