Research Abstract |
The aim of this study was to understand impact of sleep and activity of young children on their mental stability. Targeting nursery school children, we used CBCL to evaluate impact of limited afternoon nap (reduced from two hours to one hour) on their mental status and/or behaviour. The nap limitation increased problem scores in class of three-year-old children and reduced problem scores in classes of four-year-old and five-year-old children. Reduction of problem scores in class of five-year-old children was seen in common with other three nursery facilities with different environment. These results suggest that classes of four-year-old and five-year-old children (i.e., age of four to six) require a everyday life with reduced afternoon nap from a point of view of QOL.
