Sleep and Development: Familial and Socio-cultural Considerations

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Family Contexts of Sleep and Health Across the Life Course

Part of the book series: National Symposium on Family Issues ((NSFI,volume 8))

Abstract

A biopsychosocial framework has guided much of our research program pertaining to children’s and adolescents’ sleep and development. In this chapter, we first present findings from studies examining sleep parameters (e.g., duration, quality) as predictors and outcomes, as well as vulnerability and protective factors across multiple domains of development (e.g., cognitive functioning, mental and physical health). The importance of transactional models and longitudinal designs is emphasized in our work. Secondly, the multi-faceted ways we have assessed children’s sleep in the context of family processes is illustrated, with a focus on family conflict. Thirdly, the importance of the broader socio-cultural milieu on children’s sleep is highlighted, with a focus on race/ethnicity (African- and European-American) and economic adversity. Finally, open scientific questions and recommendations for moving the field forward, especially those of particular relevance to family studies and child development researchers, are presented.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Important to note is that many of these recommendations and others in this section are presented in El-Sheikh and Sadeh (2015), and discussed by colleagues in an SRCD-sponsored Forum on sleep and child development and summarized by El-Sheikh and Buckhalt (2015); colleagues’ names are listed in that chapter.
