The objective of the study was to determine whether the frequency and severity of sleep problems were greater in children of affectively ill mothers than in children of control mothers. Sleep problems were studied in children of mothers with a diagnosis of unipolar (N = 38) and bipolar (N = 23) affective illness and children of mothers with no current or past psychiatric diagnosis (N = 24). Mothers' reports on the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) were obtained three times, 4 years apart, on sibling pairs (ages 1.5-3.5 and 5-8 years, respectively, at first assessment). In addition, on the third assessment, the Diagnostic Interview for Children and Adolescents was filled out by mothers and children. In both siblings, sleep problems, as assessed through the CBCL, were more frequent and severe in children of affectively ill mothers. In younger siblings, the persistence of sleep problems was more frequent in children of affectively ill mothers. Co-occurrence of sleep problems among siblings was more frequent in children of affectively ill mothers than in those of control mothers.
该研究的目的是确定患有情感障碍的母亲的孩子比对照母亲的孩子出现睡眠问题的频率和严重程度是否更高。对诊断为单相情感障碍（N = 38）和双相情感障碍（N = 23）的母亲的孩子以及目前或过去没有精神疾病诊断的母亲的孩子（N = 24）的睡眠问题进行了研究。在相隔4年的时间里，对同胞对（首次评估时年龄分别为1.5 - 3.5岁和5 - 8岁）进行了三次母亲关于儿童行为检查表（CBCL）的报告。此外，在第三次评估时，母亲和孩子填写了儿童和青少年诊断访谈表。通过CBCL评估，在患有情感障碍的母亲所生的孩子中，同胞两人的睡眠问题都更频繁、更严重。在年幼的同胞中，患有情感障碍的母亲的孩子睡眠问题持续存在的情况更频繁。患有情感障碍的母亲的孩子中，同胞之间睡眠问题同时出现的情况比对照母亲的孩子更频繁。
