Sleep and Technology in Early Childhood - 20/11/20
Résumé |
Research suggests that technology use is associated with poorer sleep outcomes among children less than 6 years of age. These associations are evident regardless of the type of technology studied, although evening exposure may have the greatest impact compared with technology use during other parts of the day. More work is needed, particularly given that technology use is relatively high among young children. Clinicians should assess patients’ technology exposure, including before bedtime, to assess whether sleep issues stem from children’s technology use. Moreover, clinicians should educate caregivers about the association between technology use and sleep problems among young children.
