title: Insomniac children.
abstract: In this preliminary investigation sixteen latency-age children were compared with matched good sleep children from child psychiatric and general pediatric clinic populations. Parent and child reports support the existence of chronic childhood insomnia, occurring at a greater frequency in an emotionally disturbed population. Although parent-child agreement on insomnia symptoms tends to be high, there was poor agreement on other sleep-related symptoms.
