Data are reported from an exploratory study looking at the prevalence of sleep problems (broken sleep and limited hours of sleep) in a population of handicapped children. Some degree of difficulty occurred in over a third of the population. There were strong associations with age, a range of serious daytime behavioural difficulties and indices of family stress. Some support for distinct subgroups (night waking, limited hours) was obtained. The implications of these findings are discussed.
本文报告了一项探索性研究的数据，该研究调查了残疾儿童群体中睡眠问题（睡眠中断和睡眠时间有限）的患病率。超过三分之一的人群存在一定程度的困难。睡眠问题与年龄、一系列严重的日间行为困难以及家庭压力指数之间存在密切关联。研究还发现了不同亚组（夜间醒来、睡眠时间有限）存在的一些证据。本文讨论了这些研究结果的意义。
