General indices regarding mental health of mothers have been associated with their children's
sleep, and less well - organized sleep patterns have been noted in children from poorly functioning families.113) Mothers of children with sleep disturbances exhibited much higher psychological stress than did controls, obtaining increased scores on all factors of the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ).114) Children's sleep quality significantly predicted that of their mothers, with maternal sleep quality associated with stress and fatigue.115) Moreover, infants of mothers with low levels of depression and anxiety were more likely to recover from sleep problems than those with high levels of depression and anxiety after controlling for the influence of attachment patterns.116) Sleep disturbances in early childhood were positively related to negative maternal perceptions of their child, 117) potentially interfering with the development of beneficial parent - child interact

sleep problems at the age of 3 to 4 years.
In a representative population sample of 1,420 youth (ages 8 — 14 years), Shanahan et al. (2014) found that depression alone was neither predictive of nor
predicted by
sleep problems.
Interestingly, attention
problems in toddlerhood also
predicted sleep problems in adolescence after controlling for toddlerhood
sleep problems (Gregory and O'Connor 2002), suggesting a bidirectional association between
sleep problems and inattention in youth.
In a longitudinal study, Gregory and O'Connor (2002) found
sleep problems at age 4 to
predict aggressive behaviors in adolescence, but no evidence was found to support the reverse relation.
In contrast, initial levels of depressive symptoms in the spring of the senior year of high school
predicted increased subjective
sleep problems and actigraphy - measured
sleep onset latency and
sleep start variability in the fall of the first year of college.
These findings are consistent with those of Pieters et al. (2015) who found that
sleep problems prospectively
predicted increased substance use, internalizing symptoms, and externalizing
problems 1 year later in a sample of 555 adolescents (ages 11 — 16 years), even after controlling for baseline levels of adjustment, age, sex, and pubertal development.
Similarly, in an 11 - year longitudinal study of 490 adoptive and nonadoptive (biological) youth in the US,
sleep problems in toddlerhood
predicted attention
problems in adolescence, even after controlling for attention

sleep disturbance in childhood, 7,21 and in at least 1 study, it
predicted persistent child
sleep problems.7 In contrast, maternal EPDS score at age 6 to 12 months did not

Likewise, after controlling for internalizing symptoms in childhood, Gregory et al. (2005) found persistent
sleep problems in childhood to
predict a diagnosis of anxiety but not depression in young adulthood.

problems.

predict toddler
sleep problems.
In contrast, a reciprocal association was found between generalized anxiety and
sleep problems: generalized anxiety
predicted later
sleep problems and

predicted later generalized anxiety, leading the authors to conclude that «generalized anxiety appeared to be the «necessary ingredient» for longitudinal associations between internalizing distress disorders and
sleep disturbance» (Shanahan et al. 2014, p. 555).

sleep problems.
Further, aside from the recent 1 - year longitudinal studies by Becker et al. (2014) and Lycett et al. (2014a), all of the studies completed to date have been cross-sectional, leaving it unclear if comorbidities
predict increases in
sleep problems (and vice versa) over longer developmental periods or whether comorbid mental health symptoms differentially impact the
sleep of adolescents with and without ADHD.
