Journal ArticleDOI
The Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ): psychometric properties of a survey instrument for school-aged children.

Journal ArticleDOI
The children's depression inventory: a systematic evaluation of psychometric properties.

Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep habits and sleep disturbance in elementary school-aged children.
