Children’s Sleep Problems are Associated with Poorer Student-Teacher Relationship Quality

Children's sleep problems are associated with poorer student functioning in the school environment, including impairment in peer relationships, yet no studies have examined sleep functioning in relation to the student-teacher relationship. The objective of this study was to examine whether child-rated total sleep problems or specific sleep problem domains (bedtime problems, nighttime problems, or daytime sleepiness) were associated with teacher-rated student-teacher closeness and conflict after controlling for student mental health symptoms known to be associated with both greater sleep problems and poorer student-teacher relationship quality.
