Abstract
Group differences in maternal mental health and child sleep problems were assessed in mothers of preschools classified as independent sleepers, roomsharers, or bedsharers. Mothers who shared a bed with their preschoolers generally reported worse mental health outcomes and more child sleep problems than the mothers in the other two groups.
