Abstract: Objective To determine the situation of sleep in children with language disorders,in order to provide a new way for the prevention and treatment of language disorders from the perspective of sleep. Methods A total of 78 children with language disorders in Qingdao Women and Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Qingdao University were selected into the case group from January to April 2018,while 94 normal children were as the control group. Self-made questionnaires on children′s sleep were used to investigate children′s sleep status over the last one month. t test,Chi-square test and Fisher test were used for statistical analysis. Results There was statistical difference on the prevalence rate of sleep problems between case group and control group(52.56% vs. 37.23%,χ²＝4.062,P＜0.05).Compared with the controls,the prevalence rate of trouble in falling asleep in case group was significantly higher (47.44% vs. 31.91%,χ²＝4.318,P＜0.05), the bedtime of nocturnal sleep was significantly later in case group (21.91±0.73 vs. 21.51±0.55,t=4.070,P＜0.001),and nocturnal sleep duration of the case group was significantly shorter than the control[ (9.29±0.86) h vs. (9.67±0.76) h,t=-3.162,P＜0.05)]. Moreover,the prevalence rate of sleep disorders in children sleeping alone was significantly lower than that of children falling asleep with parents (41.30% vs. 68.75%,χ²＝5.706,P＜0.05). When children with language disorders suffered from night awaking,children who have immediate parental response had significantly lower sleep disorders than those without parental response (33.33% vs. 61.53% vs. 62.50%,χ²＝6.359, P＜0.05). Conclusions It is indicated that children with language disorders have high prevalence of sleep problems,and the bedtime of nocturnal sleep is later,the nocturnal sleep duration is shorter. Children sleeping alone and having positive parental response would experience less sleep disorders. Therefore,in the intervention of children with language disorders,the influence of sleep on language development is supposed to be taken into consideration.
