对成人和儿童的研究表明,睡眠在多个生理系统中起着重要而复杂的作用,这些生理系统维持健康并促进许多领域的最佳功能。对于儿童来说,学校是一个重要的功能领域,新兴的研究将睡眠与学业成绩联系起来。许多来自社会经济地位较低(SES)家庭的儿童睡眠不佳,当他们的睡眠受到损害时,对认知功能和学业成绩的影响可能比处境较好的儿童更大。了解睡眠如何影响表现可能会丰富与SES不同的儿童群体之间的成就差距有关的理论,并构成预防和干预的新焦点。
Research with adults and children has shown that sleep plays a vital and complex role in multiple physiological systems that maintain health and promote optimal functioning across many domains. For children, school is an important domain of functioning, and emerging research links sleep to academic achievement. Many children from lower socioeconomic status (SES) families sleep poorly, and when their sleep is compromised, the effects on cognitive functioning and academic achievement may be greater than for less disadvantaged children. Understanding how sleep affects performance may enrich theory relating to the achievement gap between groups of children differing in SES, and constitutes a new focus for prevention and intervention.
