People with intellectual disabilities are more likely to experience sleep problems, which can affect quality of life, physical health, mental health and well-being.
An integrative literature review was conducted to investigate what is known about behavioural sleep disturbances in people with an intellectual disability. The search used the following databases: Scopus, PsycInfo and Cinahl, to find papers published since 2015.
Within intellectual disability research, sleep appears as a common issue due to its high prevalence, negative relationships with an individual's physical and mental health, their quality of life, and impact of sleep problems on family or carers. The growing evidence base appears to support the use of behavioural, lifestyle and pharmacological interventions to improve sleep in people with an intellectual disability.
A wide array of literature provides evidence that people with intellectual disabilities are affected by and need support with their sleep.

在智障人士的相关研究中,睡眠问题很常见,因为它的发病率高,与个人的身心健康、生活质量以及睡眠问题对家庭或照顾者的影响都有负面关联。越来越多的证据支持使用行为、生活方式和药物干预措施来改善智障人士的睡眠。
大量文献表明,智障人士受到睡眠问题的影响,需要得到睡眠方面的支持。
