Abstract

Studies demonstrate that 10 to 74% of young children experience nocturnal sleep problems, specifically difficulty initiating sleep and waking and signaling. Many factors had been correlated with sleep problems in young children. However, family lifestyle factors and the timing and duration of sleep have not been explored as related factors in this age group. A descriptive correlational research design, framed in circadian theory, was used to describe sleep-wake schedules and sleep problems of one-year-old infants, using a convenience sample of 80 participants recruited from suburban medical practices.
