Links between Sleep and Behavioral Adjustment in Early and Middle Childhood
Across four studies of children (age range: 2.5–10 years), in low- and high-risk samples, greater sleep problems (actigraphy, questionnaire) predicted increased internalizing and externalizing problem behaviors (observed, questionnaire). Two studies found temperament and household chaos moderated this association, while a third found sleep mediated pre-adoption risk and problem behaviors.
