[Influence of parental educational practices on the sleep and attentional performances in children].
In a study of relationships between sleep, and parental educational practices, and attentional capacities in 6 to 11 year-old children, flexible educational practices and irregular way of life were associated with the shortest duration of sleep and the least performant attentional capacities. Parental educational errors resulting in a poor nyctohemeral waking-sleeping time distribution and chronic sleep debt appear therefore as a cause of school underachievement. Information to parents is needed in order for them to take into account in their educational practices the sleep requirements and regular way of life for their children.
