Abstract
The objective of this program of research was to adopt a holistic view of sleep to better understand how sleep, as both a multidimensional construct and component of the 24-hr day, is associated with cardiometabolic health in children and adults. In doing so, three common limitations of sleep research are addressed. First, sleep is measured objectively via actigraphy, rather than self-report which is prone to bias. Second, sleep is examined in terms multiple sleep characteristics (duration, timing, quality and day-to-day sleep variability), rather than the traditional focus of sleep duration in isolation of other sleep characteristics. Third, sleep is examined as a component of the 24-hour day, rather than separate from the rest of the day, thereby recognising that daily activities are co-dependent and involve trade-offs. The Child Health CheckPoint Study was used in this research.
