Skipping Breakfast

This study explored the associations of lifestyle, familial, and social factors with sleep habits in 1882 elementary school children, aged 6–13 years, from the Super Shokuiku School Project in January 2016. A survey assessed sex, grade, sleep habits, lifestyle, social background, and parental lifestyle. Bedtime “≥22:00,” wake-up time “≥07:00,” sleep duration “<8 h,” and “daytime sleepiness” were defined as poor sleep habits; correlates were analyzed using logistic regression. Skipping breakfast was consistently significantly associated with poor sleep, especially among children with late wake-up times (adjusted odds ratio 5.45; 95% confidence interval 3.20–9.30). Excessive screen time was associated with late bed and wake-up times. Physical inactivity was significantly associated with daytime sleepiness. Children of mothers with poor lifestyle habits were likely to go to bed late and feel sleepy the next day. Social and family factors were associated with children’s sleep habits. Several behaviors, including skipping breakfast, excessive screen time, and physical inactivity, were associated with poor sleep habits, manifesting as a night-oriented lifestyle. Although a longitudinal study is needed to determine causality, in addition to sleep education for children, sleep education for parents and society at large may be necessary to improve children’s sleep habits.

Excessive daytime sleepiness is increasingly being recognized as a major global health concern. However, there have been few studies related to sleepiness and its associated factors in elementary school children. In Japan, all schools were closed from February to May 2020 to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreaks. The aim of this study was to identify changes in the subjective sleepiness of pupils during the 1.5-year period and to elucidate factors associated with changes in sleepiness. Questionnaire surveys about pupils’ sleep habits and the Japanese version of the Pediatric Daytime Sleepiness Scale (PDSS-J) were conducted longitudinally at one elementary school in June 2019, January 2020, and June 2020. The average ∆PDSS score was 0.94 ± 5.51 (mean ± standard deviation) from June 2019 to January 2020 and −1.65 ± 5.71 (t[498] = 6.13, p < 0.01) from January 2020 to June 2020. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that decreasing social jetlag was associated with decreasing PDSS scores (OR = 0.77, 95% CI: 0.62–0.96, p = 0.02) during the school closure. A less restrictive school schedule secondary to a COVID-19-related school closure decreased sleepiness in children and was associated with decreasing social jetlag.

Abstract Background As internet use becomes more widespread, the screen time (ST) of elementary school students increases yearly. It is known that longer durations of ST can affect obesity, physical activity, dry eye disease, and learning ability. However, the effects of ST just before bedtime have not been clarified. Therefore, we examined ST duration and timing effects on elementary school children. Methods We conducted a survey of 7419 elementary school students in Tokyo, Japan using a questionnaire on food education. ST duration and timing (just before bedtime) served as the explanatory variables, and the relationship between obesity, physical activity, dry eyes, and learning ability was analyzed using logistic regression analysis. Gender, school year, height, and weight were considered confounding factors. First, we examined whether ST duration and timing were related to each objective variable, using a univariate model to examine all variables. Thereafter, we performed multivariate logistic regression analyses for all variables showing a significant difference in the univariate models. Results A significant association was observed between ST duration and obesity, physical activity, and academic performance, indicating that a longer ST duration may lead to obesity, decreased physical activity, and decreased academic performance. ST timing was associated with obesity, dry eyes, and academic performance, and ST immediately before bedtime contributed to obesity, dry eyes, and reduced academic performance. Furthermore, the results of investigating the combined effect of ST duration and timing (immediately before bedtime) on these factors revealed that ST timing has a greater effect on dry eyes, and ST duration has a greater effect on academic performance. Conclusion Our findings indicate that ST in school children is related to obesity, physical activity, dry eyes, and learning ability, and they suggest that not only the duration but also the timing of ST is important.

Background: Children differ in their sleep pattern from adults and within their developmental age groups. Good sleep habits help them in better sleep outcomes. Inadequate sleep can contribute to various health issues. Hence, this study was carried out to find out sleep pattern in children and identify factors affecting it so that suitable measures can be taken to ensure good sleep hygiene in children.Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study done in children aged 1-12 years. Every 5th child who attended OPD were included. Children who were very sick or had chronic illness or pain were excluded. Details pertaining to sleep was recorded after written parental consent.Results: The total sample size was 650. The mean age was 6.25±3.2 years. The mean bed time and wake up time was 9.18 pm±(1.02) and 6.41 am±(0.85) respectively. The mean night sleep duration was 9.38±1.05 hours. Co-sleeping was 97.5%. Sleep problem was seen in 51.1%. Screen time >2 hours contributed to late bedtime and insomnia. Reduced physical activity/exercise was significantly associated with sleep problems.Conclusions: Sleep problems and poor sleep habits are common among children. Increased screen time and reduced physical activities in children contribute to poor sleep habits and sleep problem.

BACKGROUND The prevalence of obesity in primary school children in Jakarta has reached 14% in 2013. Among many disorders, obesity can cause sleep disorders. However, sleep disorders in children are often overlooked by parents, even though they can cause physical, social, and psychological impacts. Therefore, it is necessary to find the association between obesity and sleep disorders in primary school children. METHODS This cross-sectional study was performed between July–September 2015 on 107 children attending Menteng 01 Primary School, Jakarta. Children's weight and height were measured and then their parents filled out the brief infant sleep questionnaire (BISQ). The collected data were analyzed using chi-square. RESULTS In this study, 20.6% of the children were obese, which was higher than the prevalence of obesity in Jakarta. Meanwhile, sleep disorders occurred in 62.6% of children. Data about children’s sleep habits and parents’ opinion about their children’s sleep were obtained. It showed that snoring and parents’ opinion about sleep disorders were factors associated with children’s sleep disorder. Statistical analysis also showed a significant association between obesity and sleep disorders in children (p = 0.037). CONCLUSIONS The incidence of obesity in primary school children is high and is associated with sleep disorders.

ABSTRACT<br /><br />Background: The prevalence of obesity in Indonesia is expected to continue to increase each year. Many factors contribute to obesity, one of which is the duration and quality of sleep. Short sleep duration and poor sleep quality lead to increase energy intake and increase sedentary lifestyle that will have an impact on obesity in children.<br /><br />Objective: To examine the difference in duration and quality of sleep between obese and non-obese children, and to examine whether short sleep duration and poor sleep quality were risk factors of obesity in elementary school children in City of Yogyakarta and Bantul Regency.<br /><br />Methods: This was a case control study. A random sample of 244 obese and 244 grade-matched non-obese elementary school students were selected form a cross-sectional survey previously done in the City of Yogyakarta and Bantul Regency. Information of sleep quality was collected using sleep self report questionnaires, sleep duration using recall of physical activity during the last week, nutrient intakes using a food frequency questionnaires and socio-economic<br />using structured questionnaires. <br /><br />Results: There was a signifi cant relationship between sleep duration and obesity. The odds of being obese was 1.7 (OR=1,74, 95%CI: 1.06-2.84) times higher in children who slept &lt;10 hours/day and those children who slept ≥10 hours/ day. Children with low quality of sleep was 1.9 (OR=1.88, 95% CI:0.95-3.71) times more likely to be obese than children with good quality of sleep. However, the association was not statistically signifi cant.<br /><br />Conclusion: Short sleep duration was associatied with increased odds of being obese in elementary school children. <br /><br />KEYWORDS: sleep duration, sleep quality, obesity, elementary school children.<br /><br />ABSTRAK<br /><br />Latar Belakang: Prevalensi obesitas di Indonesia diperkirakan akan terus meningkat setiap tahunnya. Banyak faktor yang berkontribusi terhadap obesitas, salah satunya adalah durasi dan kualitas tidur. Durasi tidur yang pendek dan kualitas tidur yang buruk menyebabkan peningkatan asupan energi dan peningkatan gaya hidup yang akan berdampak pada obesitas pada anak-anak.<br /><br />Tujuan: Menguji perbedaan durasi dan kualitas tidur antara anak obesitas dan non obesitas, dan apakah durasi tidur yang pendek dan kualitas tidur yang buruk merupakan faktor risiko obesitas pada anak sekolah dasar di Yogyakarta.<br /><br />Metode: Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian kasus kontrol. Sampel diambil secara acak sebanyak 244 anak SD obes dan 244 anak SD non-obes yang sebelumnya telah dipilih menggunakan metode cross-sectional yang dilakukan di Kota Yogyakarta dan Kabupaten Bantul. Data kualitas tidur diperoleh menggunakan kuesioner catatan tidur, sedangkan durasi tidur dengan recall aktivitas fi sik selama satu minggu, asupan gizi dengan food frequency questionnaire, dan  sosial ekonomi dengan kuesioner terstruktur.<br /><br />Hasil: Terdapat hubungan yang signifi kan antara durasi tidur dengan obesitas. Anak yang tidur &lt;10 jam/hari kemungkinan mengalami obesitas 1.7 (OR=1,74, 95% CI: 1.06-2.84) kali lebih tinggi dibandingkan yang tidur &gt;10 jam/hari. Anak dengan kualitas tidur yang buruk kemungkinan mengalami obesitas 1.9 (OR=1.88, 95% CI: 0.95-3.71) kali dibandingkan dengan yang kualitas tidurnya baik, namun secara statistik tidak signifi kan.<br /><br />Kesimpulan: Durasi tidur yang pendek berhubungan dengan peningkatan kemungkinan untuk mengalami obesitas pada anak sekolah dasar.<br /><br />KATA KUNCI: durasi tidur, kualitas tidur, obesitas, anak SD

The Impact

Abstract The COVID- 19 pandemic and the restrictions to minify contagion, affected globally the entire population. The prolonged home confinement during the COVID-19 outbreak changed dramatically the family life taking into consideration school closures, online education, continuous need for self-protection, restrictions of social interactions and work schedule alterations. Designed to examine the impact of COVID-19 lockdown on preschoolers’ sleep this study documented sleep patterns during the COVID-19 lockdown and explored the effects of screen time and diet. Parents of 146 children provided survey data on their children's night-time sleep habits, dietary habits and screen time usage. Children's sleep problems were measured with the Children Sleep Habits Questionnaire. Descriptive and qualitative analyses showed that most parents (54.1%) reported that children’s sleep patterns changed during the imposed home confinement. Children with more sleep problems were more likely to have increased screen exposure. The present study provides evidence on the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the sleep behavior of Greek preschoolers. Focused action is probably needed to safeguard and promote children’s overall physical and mental health outcomes during the pandemic and afterwards during the crisis recovery period.
