Abstract

Sleep plays a key role in brain development. This study explored potential factors (postmenstrual age, body weight, gender, chronological age, illness severity, circadian rhythm) associated with infants' sleep/wake patterns. These results could help clinicians to identify preterm infants at high risk for poor sleep and protect their sleep integrity.
