Adequate sleep tailored to children's age is important for their well-being. This study aimed to examine the association between adequate sleep and children's participation in occupational areas. This study was a retrospective cross-sectional analysis of secondary data obtained from the 2020 National Survey of Children's Health in the United States. This study included 6,818 children aged 6 to 11 years. The mean age was 8.48 years (standard deviation = 1.72). Multivariate regression models revealed that adequate sleep was significantly associated with increased participation in occupational areas (17% more in leisure, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.11-1.23; 15% more in play, 95% CI: 1.07-1.22; 11% more in education, 95% CI: 1.01-1.22) in school-age children, but not with participation in work and social participation. Adequate sleep is associated with increased participation of school-age children in occupational areas.

Sleep dysfunction is a significant component of the non-motor symptom profile in Parkinson's disease (PD). Patients with early onset PD (EOPD) are a unique challenge and may present with specific patterns of sleep disturbances, which tend to be related to the underlying genetic causes. Furthermore, owing to the younger age of patients with EOPD, sleep disturbances significantly impact multiple domains including employment, ability to drive, social interactions, caregiver burden, and so forth.
