Several environmental factors affect sleep. We investigated the sleep and sleep-related habits of preschool children living in Tibet and conducted an international comparison with those in Japan.
We conducted a community-based cross-sectional study using the Chinese version of the Japanese Sleep Questionnaire for Preschoolers (JSQ-P-C) and compared the results with previous data on Japanese children.
The sleep status of 3113 children aged 3-6 years old in Qinghai province was evaluated. The average wake time and bedtime of the Tibetan children were 7:20 ± 0:31 and 21:16 ± 0:43, respectively. Their mean nocturnal sleep duration was 10.0 ± 0.7 h. In comparing 3-year-old children, the time for which they viewed TV in Tibet was shorter (65.5 ± 44.6 min) than that in Japan (149.7 ± 76.6 min), and the mother's bedtime was earlier in Tibet (21:28 ± 2:14) than in Japan (23:20 ± 1:05). However, the bedtime and sleep duration of the Tibetan children (21:17 ± 0:37 and 10.0 ± 0.7 h) were fairly similar to those of the Japanese children (21:24 ± 1:57 and 9.8 ± 0.8 h).
The late bedtime and short nocturnal sleep duration of Tibetan toddlers were the same as those of Japanese toddlers despite considerable differences in their lifestyle and environment.
多种环境因素会影响睡眠。我们调查了居住在西藏的学龄前儿童的睡眠及与睡眠相关的习惯,并与日本的学龄前儿童进行了国际比较。
我们使用日语版学龄前儿童睡眠问卷的中文版(JSQ-P-C)进行了一项基于社区的横断面研究,并将结果与日本儿童的先前数据进行了比较。
对青海省3113名3至6岁儿童的睡眠状况进行了评估。藏族儿童的平均起床时间和就寝时间分别为7:20 ± 0:31和21:16 ± 0:43。他们的平均夜间睡眠时间为10.0 ± 0.7小时。在比较3岁儿童时,他们在西藏看电视的时间(65.5 ± 44.6分钟)比在日本(149.7 ± 76.6分钟)短,而且在西藏母亲的就寝时间(21:28 ± 2:14)比在日本(23:20 ± 1:05)早。然而,藏族儿童的就寝时间和睡眠时间(21:17 ± 0:37和10.0 ± 0.7小时)与日本儿童(21:24 ± 1:57和9.8 ± 0.8小时)相当相似。
尽管藏族幼儿与日本幼儿在生活方式和环境方面存在很大差异,但他们晚睡和夜间睡眠时间短的情况相同。
