Shorter sleep and later bedtimes are linked to potentially harmful functional changes to parts of the brain important for coping with stress and controlling negative emotions, our recently published research found. And children in families with low economic resources are particularly at risk.
Late bedtimes and not enough sleep can harm developing brains—and poorer kids are more at risk, say neuroscientiststo parts of the brain important for coping with stress and controlling negative emotions, our recently published research found. And children in families with low economic resources are particularly at risk.in children, we recruited 94 5- to 9-year-old children from socioeconomically diverse families living in New York.
Our research suggests that parents who were struggling to make ends meet had a harder time maintaining consistent family routines, possibly leading toconnecting socioeconomic disadvantage and poor sleep quality, such as not being able to afford a comfortable bed, overcrowding, neighborhood noise, excessive light and heat.Interventions to improve sleep may need to start earlier than adolescence to be optimally effective.
