Cosleeping in Context

Article Abstract:

Cultural factors may influence the success of cosleeping arrangements in Japan and the US. Cosleeping is when young children and their parents share a bed. Researchers compared 56 Japanese parents and 61 American parents of children 6-48 months old. While 15% of US children slept with their parents at least three times per week, 59% of Japanese children did so. Among US children, cosleeping was associated with more struggling at bedtime, more frequent night awakenings, and more sleep stress. In Japan, cosleeping was only associated with more frequent awakenings. Cosleeping may not, in itself, increase the rate of sleeping problems in children.
