We explored the interplay between infant temperament, sleep characteristics, and bedtime practices.
We conducted a cross-sectional study involving a large sample of infants 9-13 months of age (n = 623). Sleep data were collected through auto-videosomnography, allowing for objective, noninvasive assessment of sleep in an infant's ecological environment. Infant temperament and bedtime practices were assessed with questionnaires completed by parents.
Results revealed significant correlations between negative affectivity and disrupted sleep patterns, including shorter sleep duration, more night awakenings, and increased parental interventions. Infants falling asleep while being breast/bottle feeding or while being held/rocked had shorter nocturnal sleep duration, lower sleep efficiency, later bedtime, earlier wake-up time, and more parental interventions. Regression analyses indicated that bedtime practices accounted for a substantial portion of variance in sleep metrics, emphasizing their role in influencing infants' sleep.
The study highlights the intricate interconnections between infants' temperament, sleep, and caregiving practices, emphasizing the need for a nuanced understanding of individual differences to tailor effective parenting strategies for promoting healthy sleep in infants.

我们探讨了婴儿气质、睡眠特征和就寝习惯之间的相互作用。
我们进行了一项横断面研究，涉及大量9至13个月大的婴儿样本（n = 623）。睡眠数据通过自动视频多导睡眠图收集，从而能够在婴儿的自然环境中对睡眠进行客观、非侵入性评估。婴儿气质和就寝习惯通过父母填写的问卷进行评估。
结果显示消极情感性与睡眠模式紊乱之间存在显著相关性，包括睡眠时间缩短、夜间觉醒增多以及父母干预增加。在母乳喂养/奶瓶喂养时入睡或在被抱着/摇晃时入睡的婴儿夜间睡眠时间较短、睡眠效率较低、就寝时间较晚、起床时间较早，且父母干预较多。回归分析表明，就寝习惯在睡眠指标的方差中占很大一部分，强调了它们在影响婴儿睡眠方面的作用。
该研究强调了婴儿气质、睡眠和育儿方式之间复杂的相互联系，强调需要细致入微地理解个体差异，以便制定有效的育儿策略来促进婴儿的健康睡眠。
