Article Synopsis
- Early-life parental factors, including positive personality traits and stress levels, significantly shape the environment for child development and can influence sleep health in children.
- The study involved 351 families from the Arizona Twin Project, assessing parental characteristics and children's sleep duration when the twins were both 12 months and 8 years old.
- Findings indicate that a more positive parental personality can reduce the genetic influence on sleep duration, while increased parental stress enhances genetic contributions, suggesting that both genetic and environmental factors play key roles in children's sleep health.
