'Children's Report of Sleep Patterns' a reliable, maybe a valid measure of children's sleep habits
Date:6/11/2008

WESTCHESTER, Ill. The Childrens Report of Sleep Patterns (CRSP), a new self-report measure of childrens sleep patterns, sleep hygiene, and sleep disturbances for school-aged children, may be a reliable and valid self-report measure of sleep patterns, sleep hygiene, and sleep disturbances in children eight to 12 years of age, according to a research abstract that will be presented on Wednesday at SLEEP 2008, the 22nd Annual Meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies (APSS).

The study, authored by Lisa Meltzer, PhD, of Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia and the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, focused on 120 children who completed the CRSP, a 67-item measure with nine subscales, and the Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children-10 item (MASC-10). Parents/caregivers completed the Childrens Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) and the Childrens Sleep Hygiene Scale (CSHS).

According to the results, the CRSP demonstrated adequate internal reliability. Twenty-three percent of children reported a night waking the previous night that parents did not report. Concurrent validity was examined, with moderate significant relationships between the CRSP and CSHQ for sleep anxiety, sleep-related breathing disorders, parasomnias, and sleep disorders/disturbances. In addition, relationships were found between the CRSP and CSHS for caffeine, bedtime routine, sleep onset location, and sleep onset worries, and between the CRSP and MASC-10 for bedtime worries.

While sleep problems in school-aged children are primarily reported by parents, children as young as eight years old may be able to provide reliable information about their own sleep patterns, sleep hygiene, and sleep disturbances, said Dr. Meltzer.

It is recommended that school-aged children get between 10-11 hours of nightly sleep and children in pre-school between 11-13 hours.
