- Abstract
Some behavioral sleep problems in childhood are associated with onset of psychosis and borderline personality disorder (BPD) in early adolescence, researchers have found. In addition, the association with psychosis may be mediated by depression at 10 years of age. The study, published in JAMA Psychiatry, used the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children birth cohort and included 13,488 participants who were born in 1991–92 and focused on parent‐reported nighttime sleep duration, night awakening frequency, bedtime, and regulatory of sleep routines in children assessed at 6 months, 18 months, and 30 months of age, and at 3.5, 4.8, and 5.8 years of age. While it is known that persistent childhood nightmares are associated with psychosis and BPD in adolescence, little was known about the association with general behavioral sleep problems, as well as the potential mechanisms.
