睡眠对学龄前儿童注意能力的影响:就寝习惯的调节作用

Effects of Sleep Quality on Attention in Preschool Children: The Moderating Effect of Bedtime Routines

学龄前(3—6岁)儿童的睡眠质量与其认知功能中的注意力水平发展密切相关。采用问卷调查和注意力测试,对138名学龄前儿童进行评估,考察其睡眠质量对注意表现的影响及就寝习惯在其中的调节作用。结果显示:学龄前儿童睡眠持续时间、睡眠呼吸问题负向预测注意力水平;睡前时常听家长讲故事,加强了睡眠持续时间对注意力的影响,使儿童更容易从优质睡眠中受益。这一发现为家长合理培养子女的就寝习惯、促进儿童睡眠健康和认知发展提供参考。

The age of 3-6 years is a period of rapid development.As a substantial proportion of childhood life,sleep is inextricably linked to the development of their cognitive function,especially attention.The current study investigated the relationship between sleep quality and attention in 138 preschool children through questionnaires and the attention task.Furthermore,we examined whether bedtime routines would moderate the association between sleep and attention.The findings suggested that:(1)The negative effects of sleep problems on the attentional function of preschoolers arise mainly from sleep restriction and erratic daily sleep duration.(2)Listening to stories before bedtime reinforces the impact of sleep duration issues on attention,making it easier for children to benefit from high-quality sleep.The findings of this study provide a reference for parents to reasonably cultivate their children s sleeping habits and promote children s sleep health and cognitive development.
