Summary: The objective of this study was to assess the correlation between child sleep disorders and parental insomnia, hypersomnia, and sleep apnea, as well as the association between parental and child sleep disorders and parental stress. The results show that parents with insomnia and sleep apnea have a higher risk of stress, while there is no increased risk for those with hypersomnia. There is also a correlation between child sleep disorders and parental stress, insomnia, and sleep apnea.

Summary: Parental incarceration history does not significantly impact children's bedtime schedules, but children of incarcerated fathers have more challenges adhering to set bedtime and obtaining sufficient sleep compared to children of non-incarcerated fathers. Strategies for implementing and maintaining bedtime schedules may help improve sleep among children of incarcerated fathers.

Summary: The study found that allergic conjunctivitis has a negative impact on the sleep quality of children and their parents. Children with AC experience difficulties in sleep onset, increased sleep disturbances, and daytime sleepiness. Parents also have reduced sleep duration, increased sleep disturbances, and daytime sleepiness. The findings highlight the importance of assessing sleep quality in pediatric patients with allergic conjunctivitis.

Summary: The study found that children with cerebral palsy were more likely to have sleep problems compared to typically developing children, with non-ambulatory children being more severely affected. The parents of non-ambulatory children with cerebral palsy reported lower satisfaction with their child's and their own sleep.

Summary: The study aimed to examine to what extent parents view symptoms of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) as a problem in children, especially in those currently experiencing symptoms. Parents of children with a prior diagnosis of SDB were more likely to report SDB symptoms as a problem. In children without a prior diagnosis, most parents viewed SDB symptoms as problems, particularly apnoea. This suggests that factors other than parental perception of symptoms as a problem may influence under-reporting of SDB symptoms in medical consultations.

Summary: The research found significant associations between loneliness in later life and major marital transitions, family and social connections, and sleep problems which differ in social and emotional domains. Independent of relationship satisfaction, separate bedrooms relate to higher risks of emotional loneliness in older adults.

Summary: This study aimed to identify specific considerations for parents of children with epilepsy in the content and delivery of online behavioral sleep interventions. Ten themes were identified, including the need for inclusion of other parents' experiences, understanding of changing sleep-management options, personalized suggestions, addressing child anxiety, practical advice, educational information, acknowledging parental worries, providing support for children's sleep, and involving children in the intervention. Specific adaptations and additions to online BSI content and format are necessary to meet the needs of parents of children with epilepsy.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the sleep characteristics of school-aged children with T1D and their parents. Results showed insufficient sleep duration for both children and parents, with sleep quality being associated with factors such as blood glucose levels and family routines. The study suggests that improving sleep duration and quality may help in enhancing glycemic control and reducing parental distress in children with T1D.

Summary: This study examines the impact of family structure on parental financial investments in children, using data from the 2003-2018 Consumer Expenditure Surveys. The results show that single and cohabiting parents make smaller financial investments in children compared to married parents, with income explaining the entire gap for single parents and about 60% for cohabiting parents. These expenditure gaps by family structure are smallest among Hispanic households and largest among highly educated households.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of a preschool-based sleep health literacy program on children's sleep duration and difficulties, as well as on parent sleep knowledge, attitudes, self-efficacy, and beliefs. The results showed that the program did not significantly affect children's sleep duration and difficulties, but there was a slight improvement in parental knowledge. The findings of this study have implications for the long-term impact and potential effects of sleep education programs, and future research should further explore the effects of sleep problem recognition and the long-term effects of early childhood sleep.

Summary: Many clinical psychologists have received minimal formal sleep training, yet they feel prepared to evaluate and treat sleep disorders. However, their treatment recommendations do not align with evidence-based standards, potentially leading to delayed or ineffective treatment for patients. The critical need for sleep training among clinical psychologists should be addressed to improve patient outcomes.

Summary: This study examined the impact of instructional approaches and school start times on the timing, amount, and variability of sleep in U.S. adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results showed that later school start times were associated with more students obtaining sufficient sleep. Students with online/synchronous instruction were more likely to get sufficient sleep compared to those with in-person instruction at the same start times.

Summary: Postgraduate psychology programs in Australia deliver minimal sleep education, with many students reporting no sleep education and low confidence in managing sleep disturbances. Enhanced integration of sleep education is needed to improve mental health outcomes for postgraduate psychology students.

Summary: This study examines the impact of school start times on students' sleep and daytime functioning over a three-year period. The findings indicate that later start times are associated with increased sleep duration and improved daytime functioning for secondary school students. However, elementary/primary school students experience earlier wake times and shorter sleep duration, with minimal changes in daytime functioning.

Summary: An increasing number of children with serious/complex illness are living with long-term prognostic uncertainty, intensive interactions with medical systems, functional limitations, and the use of chronic medical technologies that affect their quality of life. These families often face multiple medical decision points and rely on intentional and iterative discussions to guide their care goals.
