The present study examined relations between nightly bedtime routines and sleep outcome measures in a sample of 185 toddlers aged 30 months. Parents reported on their toddler's sleep duration and the length and activities included in the bedtime routine each night for approximately 2 weeks. Toddlers wore actigraphs to track their sleep during the same time period. Correlation, mean difference, and regression analyses indicated that toddlers experienced different bedtime routines and exhibited differences in parent reported sleep duration between weeknights and weekends. Multi-level models revealed that variability in the bedtime routine on an individual night most consistently affected parent reported sleep duration on that night. Differences in the bedtime routines between weeknights and weekends also affected actigraph recorded sleep duration and sleep efficiency. Results suggest that keeping consistent bedtime routines between weeknights and weekends is important for optimal sleep outcomes.
本研究调查了185名30个月大幼儿的夜间就寝习惯与睡眠结果指标之间的关系。父母报告了他们孩子的睡眠时间,以及每晚就寝习惯中包含的时长和活动,持续约两周时间。在同一时期,幼儿佩戴活动记录仪来追踪他们的睡眠情况。相关性分析、均值差异分析和回归分析表明,幼儿有不同的就寝习惯,并且在工作日夜晚和周末的家长报告睡眠时间上存在差异。多层次模型显示,单个晚上就寝习惯的变化最一致地影响了家长报告的当晚睡眠时间。工作日夜晚和周末就寝习惯的差异也影响了活动记录仪记录的睡眠时间和睡眠效率。结果表明,工作日夜晚和周末保持一致的就寝习惯对实现最佳睡眠结果很重要。
