Abstract

A moderated mediation analysis was conducted to examine relations between toddler/maternal sleep, including co-sleeping practices, and maternal mental health, in mothers of low-income toddlers. Results indicated that among co-sleeping families, the relation between toddler sleep problems and maternal mental health may be explained by shortened maternal nighttime sleep.
