Description

Reported rates of sleep disturbances in children with developmental disorders are higher than rates reported for typically developing children. The current study explored specific areas of sleep hygiene in children with developmental disorders to determine which areas are most in need of targeted intervention. Results indicated that sleep hygiene, specifically sleep location and electronic use at sleep onset were related to daytime sleepiness.
