ABSTRACT
STUDY OBJECTIVES:
Examine sleep patterns in children with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) who habitually bedshare.METHODS:
We evaluated associations of bedsharing with parent-reported (n=457) and actigraphy-based (n=258) sleep patterns in a diverse child sample (mean age 6.6±2.3 years, range 3.0-12.9) with mild SDB using baseline data from the Pediatric Adenotonsillectomy Trial for Snoring. Multivariable linear regressions examined associations between sleep patterns and bedsharing, adjusting for sociodemographic, child, and parent/environmental factors. Moderation effects were investigated using interaction terms. Analyses were stratified by age, categorizing children as younger (<6) and older (≥6) years.RESULTS:
Bedsharing rates were 38%, with higher rates in younger (48%) vs. older (30%) children (p<0.001). In adjusted models, bedsharing was associated with about 30 minutes shorter actigraphy-derived nocturnal sleep duration (p=0.005) and parent-reported later sleep midpoint (p< 0.005) in younger children. In older children, associations of bedsharing with shorter parent-reported sleep duration were more pronounced in children with greater SDB symptom burden (p=0.02), and in children with higher ratings of anxiety (p=0.048) and depressive symptoms (p=0.02).CONCLUSIONS:
In children with mild SDB, bedsharing is associated with shorter sleep duration and later sleep timing in younger children. In older children, these relationships were modified by child factors, including SDB symptom burden and internalizing symptoms. These findings suggest that whereas age and parenting factors may play a greater role in the younger group, SDB and internalizing symptoms may play more of a role in older children who bedshare, suggesting the need to address co-occurring medical and emotional problems in children with SDB.
