Multidimensional Sleep Health of Toddlers With Down Syndrome: A Descriptive Study Using the Pediatric Sleep Health Framework

This descriptive study applied the Pediatric Sleep Health framework to examine sleep patterns in 24 toddlers with Down syndrome (12-36 months), finding that 50% had multidomain sleep difficulties with behavioral issues being most common (63%), while most children maintained structured sleep routines and parental satisfaction was high. The research provides a comprehensive assessment of sleep health across multiple dimensions rather than focusing on isolated sleep problems in this population.
