Abstract

We compared three different measures of sleep among children of alcoholics (COAs) and matched controls across two time points (T1 N=246; T2 N=196; 61% COAs; 53% girls; mean age=10.21(1.41)). The findings suggest that COAs slept less, had poorer sleep hygiene and had a tendency to show daytime sleepiness that non-COAs.
