Classification and epidemiology of childhood sleep disorders.
TLDR
It is important to note that definitions of normal sleep patterns, sleep requirements, and sleep disorders in childhood must necessarily incorporate the wide range of normal developmental and physical maturational changes across childhood and adolescence, and cultural, environmental, and social influences.Abstract:
Approximately 25% of all children experience some type of sleep problem at some point during childhood. A number of studies have examined the prevalence of parent- and child-reported sleep complaints in large samples of healthy, typically developing children and adolescents; many of these have also further delineated the association between disrupted sleep and behavioral concerns. Sleep problems are even more prevalent in children and adolescents with chronic medical, neurodevelopmental, and psychiatric conditions. It is important to note that definitions of normal sleep patterns, sleep requirements, and sleep disorders in childhood must necessarily incorporate the wide range of normal developmental and physical maturational changes across childhood and adolescence, and cultural, environmental, and social influences.read more

Agreement rates between actigraphy, diary, and questionnaire for children's sleep patterns.
TL;DR: The diary is a cost-effective and valid source of information about children's sleep-schedule times, while actigraphy may provide additional information about nocturnal wake times or may be used if parents are unable to report in detail.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that actigraphy provides consistent objective data that is often unique from patient-reported sleep logs for some sleep parameters in adult and pediatric patients with suspected or diagnosed insomnia, circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders, sleep-disordered breathing, central disorders of hypersomnolence, and adults with insufficient sleep syndrome.

TL;DR: A task force of experts in sleep medicine developed recommendations and assigned strengths based on a systematic review of the literature and an assessment of the evidence using the GRADE process, and recommended the use of actigraphy in evaluating patients with sleep disorders and circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders.

TL;DR: An exemplar case is presented to integrate key constructs of the practice pathway and address arousal and sensory dysregulation in a child with ASD and anxiety disorder, and a practice pathway for promoting optimal sleep is presented.

Assessment of Chronotype in Four- to Eleven-Year-Old Children: Reliability and Validity of the Children's ChronoType Questionnaire (CCTQ)
TL;DR: The findings indicate moderate to strong agreement between the three measures, adequate associations between chronotype measures and sleep/wake parameters assessed by actigraphy, and excellent temporal stability (reliability).

The Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ): psychometric properties of a survey instrument for school-aged children.
TL;DR: The CSHQ appears to be a useful sleep screening instrument to identify both behaviorally based and medically-based sleep problems in school-aged children.

Sleep Schedules and Daytime Functioning in Adolescents
Amy R. Wolfson,Mary A. Carskadon +1 more
TL;DR: Most of the adolescents surveyed do not get enough sleep, and their sleep loss interferes with daytime functioning.

Sleep duration from infancy to adolescence: reference values and generational trends.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors calculate percentile curves for total sleep duration per 24 hours, for nighttime and for daytime sleep duration from early infancy to late adolescence to illustrate the developmental course and age-specific variability of these variables among subjects.

TL;DR: The correlation between factor scores corroborated the hypothesis that childhood sleep disturbances are not independent entities nor do they cluster into different groupings related to each other and appears to be a useful tool in evaluating the sleep disturbances of school‐age children in clinical and non‐clinical populations.

Sleep habits and sleep disturbance in elementary school-aged children.
TL;DR: Children tended to identify more sleep problems by self‐report, particularly sleep‐onset delay and night wakings, than did their parents, and approximately 10% of the sample was identified by all three measures as having significant problems with daytime sleepiness.
