ABSTRACT

Introduction: the acquisition of language has proved to be particularly vulnerable to the organization of the awake-sleep state.
Objective: to identify those risk factors in sleep characteristics and habits associated to the primary retardation of language in preschoolers.
Methods: prospective, longitudinal, case-control and analytical study of 73 children aged 2 to 5 years, who went to the neuropediatric service of "Juan Manuel Márquez" pediatric hospital because of language retardation from January 2010 to January 2014 and comparison with a control group of healthy children.
Results: in the primary retardation of language, there have been found lower number of night sleep hours (p ‹ 0.0001), higher number of nap hours (p ‹ 0.0001), more frequent night awakenings (p= 0.003), lesser habit of playing in team (p ‹ 0.0001), more frequent habit of TV viewing before going to sleep (p ‹ 0.0001), more presence of electronic devices in the child´s room (p ‹ 0.0001), moving to the parent´s bed (p= 0.01), and more frequent nocturnal enuresis (p ‹ 0.04) and fears (p= 0.01).
Conclusions: the identified risk factors were night sleep for less than 10 hours, over 2 hour naps, frequent nocturnal awakenings, habit of TV viewing before sleeping and/or presence of TV sets in bedrooms and moving to the parents´ bed during the night.
