This population-based study examines the prevalence of insomnia symptoms as well as its sociodemographic, subjective, and polysomnographic (PSG) sleep risk factors in young and preadolescent children. Cross-sectional study of 700 children, ages 5–12 who underwent a 9-hour PSG and parent completed sleep and development questionnaires (Penn State Child Cohort). Insomnia symptoms were defined as parent report of difficulty falling and/or staying asleep and sleep disordered breathing (SDB) as an apnea hypopnea index of ≥ 1. The prevalence of insomnia symptoms was 19.3% and did not significantly change (20.2%) when children with SDB were excluded. A significant interaction between gender and age revealed that the prevalence of insomnia symptoms was highest in girls age 11–12 (30.6%). This gender difference was not associated with significant differences between girls and boys 11–12 yrs old in terms of anxiety and depressive symptoms. In contrast girls’11–12 years old with insomnia symptoms, but not boys of the same group, demonstrated clinically significant PSG sleep disturbances compared to those without insomnia symptoms. These data suggest that one out of five young children and preadolescents of the general population have insomnia symptoms. Importantly, the prevalence of insomnia symptoms peaks in girls age 11–12 and is associated with objective sleep disturbances that maybe related to hormonal changes associated with the onset of puberty rather than anxiety and depression per se.
