Abstract

Our study (N=265) indicates that poor sleep quality (B=.37) and higher frequency of bedtime media use (B=.04) by preschoolers contribute to more expressions of anger/frustration. Association between bedtime media use and anger/frustration was more pronounced in girls. These findings support the prioritization of screen-free bedtime routines.
