Infants with sleep disturbances at high risk of behavioral problems later in life

A recent study published in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry suggested a link between sleep problems during early infancy and behavioral problems later in childhood (at ages 10-11years). The findings highlight the importance of early identification and targeted intervention to identify sleep problems and promote the well-being of the child.

Recent studies have demonstrated that about 40% of children experience behavioral sleep problems including staying asleep or difficulty falling. These problems are often accompanied with behavioral health or neurodevelopmental conditions, also reduced social, psychological, academic, cognitive, and physical well-being. In particular behavioral sleep problems are linked to increased behavioral and emotional concerns.
