Sleep problems in children of affectively ill mothers

Article Abstract:

Researchers examined the range and frequency of sleep problems in a group of children with affectively ill mothers. Children in this group had more sleep problems than those in a control group, according to maternal ratings. A number of factors could cause this effect including maternal behaviour or a genetic vulnerability to psychiatric problems. An affective illness in the father, as well as in the mother, did not affect the incidence of sleep problems. The research also revealed a high level of co-occurring sleep problems amongst siblings.
