Maternal Prenatal Stress

AbstractChild sleep disorders are increasingly prevalent and understanding early predictors of sleep problems, starting in utero, may meaningfully guide future prevention efforts. Here, we investigated whether prenatal exposure to maternal psychological stress is associated with increased sleep problems in toddlers. We also examined whether fetal brain connectivity has direct or indirect influence on this putative association. Pregnant women underwent fetal resting-state functional connectivity MRI and completed questionnaires on stress, worry, and negative affect. At 3-year follow-up, 64 mothers reported on child sleep problems, and in the subset that have reached 5-year follow-up, actigraphy data (N = 25) has also been obtained. We observe that higher maternal prenatal stress is associated with increased toddler sleep concerns, with actigraphy sleep metrics, and with decreased fetal cerebellar-insular connectivity. Specific mediating effects were not identified for the fetal brain regions examined. The search for underlying mechanisms of the link between maternal prenatal stress and child sleep problems should be continued and extended to other brain areas.

Abstract Introduction Sleep problems are highly prevalent during infancy. However, little research has been conducted on associations between these sleep issues and common medical concerns in early development. Thus, the purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of parent-perceived sleep problems in infants with common medical problems. Methods Participants were 5,097 children from the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children—Birth Cohort. Caregiver-reported child sleep problems and medical concerns were assessed at ages 0-1 year. Chi-square analyses were used to examine associations between the presence of a parent-perceived sleep problem and medical concerns. Results Wheezing (29.6%), eczema (14.9%), and food/digestive allergies (5.0%) were the most commonly identified medical concerns. In addition, 17.1% of caregivers reported a moderate/severe child sleep problem. Infants who had a moderate to severe parent-identified sleep problem experienced higher rates of overall medical care/needs, wheezing, eczema, food/digestive allergies (p<.001), ear infections (p<.05), and other illnesses (p<.01) than those infants without a sleep problem. No differences were observed with regard to hearing problems, vision problems, developmental delay, diarrhea/colitis, anemia, or other (non-ear) infections. Furthermore, parents reported higher rates of sleep problems for infants with medical problems (20.0-37.5%) than for infants without medical problems (16-17%), especially related to needing medical care (sleep problems = 27%), food/digestive allergies (27%), eczema (23%), and wheezing (20%), p=.001. Conclusion Overall, common medical issues during infancy, including food/digestive allergies, eczema, and wheezing, are associated with greater parent-endorsed child sleep problems. Primary care providers should assess for and address sleep problems when treating common medical concerns during infancy.

Over Time

Background: Children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) experience more sleep problems than their typically developing peers. In addition, their parents experience higher rates of mental health difficulties relative to parents of children without ADHD. Cross-sectional studies have reported associations; however, longitudinal studies have not yet been conducted. This study aimed to investigate potential bidirectional relationships between sleep problems in children with ADHD and maternal mental health difficulties (i.e. overall mental health, depression, anxiety, stress) over a 12-month period. Methods: Female caregivers of 379 children with ADHD (5–13 years) reported on their child’s sleep (Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire) and their own mental health (Depression Anxiety Stress Scale) at three time points over a 12-month period (baseline, 6-months, and 12-months). Autoregressive cross-lagged panel analyses were used to analyze the data, controlling for child age, child sex, ADHD symptom severity, ADHD medication use, comorbidities (autism spectrum disorder, internalizing disorders, and externalizing disorders), caregiver age, and socioeconomic disadvantage. Results: Child sleep problems and maternal mental health difficulties were highly stable across the 12-month period. In addition, longitudinal relationships were evident, with child sleep problems at 6-months predicting both overall maternal mental health difficulties and maternal anxiety at 12-months. However, child sleep problems at 6-months did not predict maternal depression or maternal stress at 12-months. There was little evidence that maternal mental health difficulties predicted child sleep problems over the 12-month period. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that despite the stability in child sleep problems and maternal mental health difficulties over time, sleep problems in children with ADHD contribute to later maternal mental health difficulties. This suggests that sleep interventions to improve child sleep may lead to an improvement in maternal mental health over time. It also suggests a need to be aware of the potential mental health difficulties being experienced by mothers who have children with sleep problems.

Background: Children with intellectual and developmental difficulties often experience sleep problems, which in turn may impact parental sleep patterns. This study explored the role of parental sleep knowledge as a moderator on the relationship between child sleep and parental sleep impairment. Methods: 582 parents or caregivers (92.6% mothers) of children with different developmental disabilities (Age M = 9.34, 29.5% females) such as Down’s syndrome, participated in an online survey. Multiple regression analysis was conducted. Results: Parental sleep knowledge of child sleep was a moderating variable in the relationship between child sleep nocturnal duration and parental sleep impairment. Although overall, sleep knowledge was high in this sample, two specific knowledge gaps were identified namely child sleep duration requirements, and the recognition of signs of a well-rested child. Conclusion: This study has provided evidence that increased parental sleep knowledge can positively impact both child and parental sleep outcomes.

Objectives: To discuss physiological factors that affect learning in school children and the harmful effects of major sleep disturbances on that age. Methodology: Articles were analysed between 2020 and 2015 in LILACS, PUBMED, SciELO and MEDLINE databases with the keywords: Sleep and Child; Sleep and Learning; GH and Learning; Memory and Learning; Blood Flow and Learning; Oxygenation and Learning; Immunity and Cognition. Additionally, we also referred to the books "Sleep and Sleep Medicine" and "Insomnia from Diagnosis to Treatment". Results and discussion: We found evidence in the literature that sleep influences brain plasticity, spatial learning, motor training, long-term memory, Growth Hormone (GH) release, synapses remodelling and acts on the Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Furthermore, clinical and practical findings also show that immunity is affected and children with sleep problems present significant disturbances in learning. Conclusion: The relationships between sleep reduction/ sleep disorders and daytime /nocturnal brain function, influence learning of school children.

The Relationship

Sleep problems have a bi-directional impact on the daytime performance of children, parental well-being, and overall family functioning in the general population. Children with Down syndrome (DS) are at a high risk of sleep problems, yet the relationship between sleep problems, adaptive functioning, and family stress in children with DS is not well documented. We examined the relationship between sleep (i.e., duration and quality) and child and parent/family functioning. Sixty-six children with DS wore an actigraph for a week to assess their sleep duration and sleep efficiency. Their parents completed ratings on child sleep duration and parasomnias, child adaptive functioning, parental depression and sleep, and family stress. The parents’ reports of their children’s sleep duration were associated with parental depressive symptoms. The parents’ reports of their children’s restless sleep behaviors were associated with poorer performances in child-compliant/calm behaviors, worse parental sleep, and negative parental feelings and sibling relationships. The findings from actigraph measures of the children’s sleep demonstrated that greater sleep efficiency was associated with greater child adaptive functioning and fewer parental depressive symptoms. The study findings provide preliminary evidence that sleep problems are related to child adaptive functioning, parental functioning, and family stress in children with DS.

Mediating Role

In the context of the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, mental health problems of parents and children have become a public issue. Herein, we explored the association between parental well-being index and child mental health problems during the pandemic and the mediating role of harsh parenting and child sleep disturbances. An online survey was conducted among 16,398 parents of children aged 3–6 years (48.1% girls, Mage = 4.69 years, SDage = 0.75 years) from March 15 to 29, 2020. Child mental health (Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, SDQ), sleep problems (Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire, CSHQ), and parental well-being index (World Health Organization-Five Well-Being Index, WHO-5), and harsh parenting were reported by parents. The results revealed that a higher parental well-being index was associated with lower child mental health problems. Harsh parenting and child sleep problems were significant mediators within the association. This study indicates the association between parental well-being index and child mental health during the pandemic and underlying mechanism, and has important implications for reducing parental and child mental health problems.
