To evaluate the relationship between sleep habits and sleep bruxism (SB) in schoolaged children.
Survey data were collected from the parents of 500 children (267 males and 233 females; age range 6-12 years). The American Academy of Sleep Medicine diagnostic criteria were used to evaluate SB. A Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire was conducted to determine sleep habits. The chi-square test was used for statistical evaluation.
SB was observed in 160 children (32%). SB awareness was 5.4%. The presence of SB in other family members, mothers' education ≤8 years, and income below minimum wage were found as family risk factors. The presence of sleep disorders was 61.4% and observed to be statistically higher in those with SB.
SB is a prevalent disorder that might be associated with sleep disorders. The parents of children with SB had inadequate knowledge and awareness pertaining to SB.

收集了500名儿童(267名男性和233名女性;年龄范围6至12岁)家长的调查数据。采用美国睡眠医学学会诊断标准评估睡眠磨牙症。进行儿童睡眠习惯问卷调查以确定睡眠习惯。采用卡方检验进行统计学评估。
160名儿童(32%)被观察到存在睡眠磨牙症。睡眠磨牙症知晓率为5.4%。其他家庭成员存在睡眠磨牙症、母亲受教育年限≤8年以及收入低于最低工资被发现为家庭风险因素。睡眠障碍的发生率为61.4%,且在睡眠磨牙症患者中观察到在统计学上更高。
睡眠磨牙症是一种普遍存在的疾病,可能与睡眠障碍有关。睡眠磨牙症患儿的家长对睡眠磨牙症的知识和认识不足。
