  2. Research question • To describe sleep habits and sleep problems of children attending child day care centres (DCCs) in Sweden.

  3. Main findings • Shorter slept time • Changed sleep habits • Few parents regard their children have sleep problem

  4. How did we come to this conclusion? • We choose DCC in Lund and Eslöv- same size and composition of children • Questionnaire + (Diary 14+14days) • 132 (93%) of eligible participated • 129 (98%) answered the Questionnaire

  5. The study population

  6. SLEPT TIME hours

  7. Possible consequences of a shortened slept time • Reduced cognitive performance • Behaviour changes • Distorted circadiell rhythm • Increased crave for sugar • Negative effect on carbohydrate metabolism, endocrine system, increased blodpressure • Hamper the immunesystem

  8. Why shorter sleept time? • Children go to bed too late? • Children wake up too early? • Sleep habits have changed? • To be a child of post-modern parents?

  9. Sleep habits studied • Parental presence • Co sleep • Night waking • Long sleep latency • Early awakening

  10. Parental presence

  11. Parental presence %

  12. CO SLEEP

  13. CO SLEEP %

  14. Night waking %

  15. Long sleep latency • 16 % • Longest sleep latency time was 2,5 hours • Parental presence at sleep onset were correlated to night waking (p=0.002) and co-sleep (p<0,001)

  16. Night happenings • Snoring (8) • Nightmares (5) • Bedwetting (2) • Various (night terror, probable fear, wakes up before parents´s bedtime and restless sleep)

  21. Sleep before dinner instead

  22. The biology and the ´life puzzle´ • Children have to adapt to two systems • Sleep – a “zeit-geber” to the circardiell rhythm • Growing on insulin or growing on growth hormones? • Sleep problems behind the increase in weight among children?

  23. Our messages • Put the children in bed in time • Learn them to fall a sleep by themselfe • No feeding during the night.

  27. Night happenings • Wakes up before parents´ bedtime 8/129 • Snoring 8 • Night mares 5 • Bedwetting 2

  28. Long sleep latency

  29. VAD ÄR ETT SÖMNPROBLEM? Prevalensen varierar: • Andra studier 4-29% • Vår studie 12-57%

  30. Andel lärkor och ugglor samt barn med dålig morgonaptit

  31. Lärka - Uggla Börja senare på dagis-flextid Tidig fruktstund på dagis – skicka med extra frukt
