Parents completed three ratings scales about sleep health practices and child bedtime behavior and a semi-structured interview. Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics and correlations. We used an implementation science rapid qualitative analysis approach to analyze qualitative data from the interviews.ResultsThe final sample identified as 52% African-American, 14% Jamaican, 10% Haitian, and 26% mixed multi-ethnic groups. Parent mean age was 41 years and child mean age were 5 years old. About 80% of responders were women. About one-third of the sample held a doctoral degree, and half the sample had a bachelor's or Master's degree. Parents answered 56% of sleep knowledge questions accurately (ranging from 32 to 100%) and reported an average of two sleep problems. Parents described healthy sleep as involving flexibility in sleep timing and bedtime routines. More than half of parents reported co-sleeping practices, with reasons ranging from a strategy to address night wakings, to a way to preserve bonding. Later child bedtime (after 9 pm) was associated with bedtime resistance, permissive parenting, and parent stress. Many parents reported that they had poor sleep quality and duration.DiscussionFindings elucidate a range of factors to consider in tailoring sleep health interventions for Black families of young children. These include the common practice of co-sleeping, parents' value for flexibility related to bedtime and bedtime routines, and parents' own challenges with getting enough and good quality sleep. Tailored family-centered interventions will benefit from considering these factors.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frsle.2026.1866589 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frsle.2026.1866589 2026-07-24T00:00:00Z Original Research Dorota GodzinaAgnieszka DoryńskaLudmiła Podgórska-StawieckaAnna MizerskaWitold SmigielskiPiotr DobrowolskiAleksander Prejbisz https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frsle.2026.1818620 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frsle.2026.1818620 2026-07-22T00:00:00Z Mini Review Belinda O'HaganSumner ChmielewskiNaomi DeokuleAlexandra JosephsonTayla Von Ash https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frsle.2026.1858267 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frsle.2026.1858267 2026-07-20T00:00:00Z Original Research Fons SchipperPedro FonsecaAngela GrassiMarco RossFokke B. van MeulenMerel van GilstPien F.

Fourteen percent were non autonomous (NA), 21% were autonomous at the weekend only weekend autonomy (WA) and 65% at the weekend and on weeknights total autonomy (TA). Autonomy increased with age (p < 0.001) and female sex (p < 0.001). Weekend autonomy is granted to younger children than weeknight autonomy (13.61 ± 2.0 vs. 16.4 ± 2.8): nearly all participants were totally autonomous by the age of 18. In a model adjusting for age, sex, mood, and sleepiness potential sleep deprivation was linked to WA and more strongly to TA while social jetlag was only associated with WA.ConclusionBedtime autonomy is an important factor in determining bed time duration and sleep rhythms in adolescents.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frsle.2026.1837613 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frsle.2026.1837613 2026-05-25T00:00:00Z Original Research Jae Hee Kim https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frsle.2026.1832143 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frsle.2026.1832143 2026-05-25T00:00:00Z Study Protocol Devin L.

Qualitative feedback indicated the intervention was acceptable and feasible.DiscussionThe pilot brief behavioral intervention improved parents' perception of child sleep health, parental self-efficacy, and parental sleep knowledge. Despite limited changes in objective sleep measures, findings from this predominantly subclinical, community-based sample suggest that brief, personalized behavioral interventions may be a feasible and acceptable approach for promoting sleep health and supporting families. Future investigations, including randomized control trials and longer follow-up periods, are warranted.]]>
