这项研究描述了学龄前儿童睡眠时间与行为问题之间的关系。参与者是510名2至5岁的儿童，他们通过68家私人儿科诊所注册。父母报告了孩子在夜间和24小时内的睡眠时间。在控制了人口变量后，回归模型被用来确定睡眠是否与行为问题有关。夜间睡眠不足与DSM-III-R精神病诊断之间存在显著关系（优势比= 1.23,p = 0.026）。夜间睡眠不足（p < 0.0001）和24小时内睡眠不足（p < 0.004）与儿童行为检查表上的总行为问题增加有关；夜间睡眠不足（p < 0.002）和24小时睡眠不足（p < 0.004）也与更多的外化问题有关。需要进一步的研究来确定睡眠是否在行为问题的增加中起着因果作用。
This study described the relationship between amount of sleep and behavior problems among preschoolers. Participants were 510 children aged 2 to 5 years who were enrolled through 68 private pediatric practices. Parents reported on the amount of sleep their child obtained at night and in 24-hour periods. With demographic variables controlled, regression models were used to determine whether sleep was associated with behavior problems. The relationship between less sleep at night and the presence of a DSM-III-R psychiatric diagnosis was significant (odds ratio = 1.23, p = .026). Less night sleep (p < .0001) and less sleep in a 24-hour period (p < .004) were associated with increased total behavior problems on the Child Behavior Checklist; less night sleep (p < .0002) and less 24-hour sleep (p < .004) were also associated with more externalizing problems on that measure. Further research is needed to ascertain whether sleep is playing a causal role in the increase of behavior problems.
