Children of color are more likely to have poor sleep health than White children, placing them at risk for behavioral problems in the classroom and lower academic performance. Few studies, however, have utilized standardized measures of both classroom behavior and achievement. This study examined whether children’s sleep (parent and teacher report) in first grade concurrently related to independent observations of classroom behavior and longitudinally predicted achievement test scores in second grade in a sample of primarily Black (86%) children (n = 572; age = 6.8) living in historically disinvested neighborhoods. Higher teacher-reported child sleepiness was associated with lower adaptive behaviors and higher problem behaviors in the classroom, and predicted lower achievement. Parent-reported bedtime resistance and disordered breathing also predicted lower achievement.

历史上废弃社区中有色人种儿童的睡眠、课堂行为和成绩

有色人种儿童比白人儿童更有可能睡眠健康状况不佳，这使他们面临课堂行为问题和学业成绩下降的风险。然而，很少有研究利用课堂行为和成绩的标准化衡量标准。这项研究调查了一年级儿童的睡眠（家长和老师的报告）是否同时与课堂行为的独立观察以及二年级的纵向预测成绩测试分数相关，样本主要是黑人（86%）儿童（n = 572；年龄 = 6.8) 居住在历史上投资不足的社区。教师报告的儿童困倦程度越高，与课堂上较低的适应行为和较高的问题行为相关，并预示着较低的成绩。家长报告的睡前阻力和呼吸紊乱也预示着成绩会下降。
