Associations between parent-reported and objectively measured sleep duration and timing in infants at age 6 months.

ABSTRACT:

Study objectives

To compare the estimates of sleep duration and timing from survey, diary, and actigraphy in infants at age 6 months, overall and by select demographics and other factors.

Methods

In total, 314 infants participating in the Rise & SHINE (Sleep Health in Infancy & Early Childhood study) cohort in Boston, MA, USA, wore an actigraph on their left ankle for 7 days. Parents concurrently completed a sleep diary and the expanded version of the Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire. Concordance between parent-reported and objective sleep estimates was assessed using Bland-Altman plots, Spearman's rank correlations, intraclass correlations, and linear regression models.

Results

Mean infant age was 6.4 (0.6 SD) months; 51% were female and 42% were Non-Hispanic white.
