Abstract
The current study examines the relationship between caregivers’ work conditions and children’s sleep, as mediated through maternal depression and bedtime routines. Using cross-sectional data from 432 caregiver-child pairs, results revealed that among caregivers who worked nightshifts, those who had consistent bedtime routines had children with longer sleep durations.
