Novel insights from actigraphy: Anxiety is associated with sleep quantity but not quality during childhood.
Clinical Child Psychology and Psychiatry 2019 January 31
Anxiety and sleep function change dynamically across development, and sleep dysfunction has emerged as a correlate and predictor of anxiety in pediatric clinical samples. Despite this, previous research has not investigated how associations between qualitative and quantitative measures of sleep function change with anxiety across development, specifically from childhood to adolescence. The present study used actigraphy collection to examine whether associations between quantitative and qualitative sleep function and anxiety differed as a function of developmental stage in a community pediatric sample (8-17 years old; N = 92). Age moderated the association between anxiety and sleep quantity, but not sleep quality. Contrary to hypotheses, higher anxiety was related to increased sleep for children, but not adolescents. Results suggest age-related changes in the association between sleep function and anxiety across development, with implications for targeting sleep-related interventions for youth with anxiety.
