Abstract in brief

  • The study found that COVID-19 confinement temporarily worsened sleep quality in both babies and preschool children, but sleep quality generally returned to pre-confinement levels over time.
  • Caregiver stress was identified as a key risk factor for poor sleep in children, while protective factors such as mindfulness, active caregiving, and the presence of siblings or pets helped maintain better sleep quality.
  • These findings suggest that managing caregiver stress and engaging in protective activities can help safeguard young children's sleep and support their brain development during periods of enforced confinement.]
