Sleep, however, has received minimal attention among this vulnerable group, which is concerning given the multitude of ways sleep affects children\u2019s development, health, and behavior.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 485 foster caregivers from across the United States completed a survey including quantitative items and qualitative, open-ended questions about sleep and related health and behavior for one child (M\u2009=\u20096.4\u2009years, SD\u2009=\u20092.2; range 4\u201311\u2009years) currently in their care.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Overall, caregivers reported developmentally appropriate child sleep and wake times; however, difficulty falling asleep (avg. 46\u2009min per night) and staying asleep (avg. 34\u2009min awake overnight) were common. Additionally, a high prevalence of sleep-related problems was reported including moving to someone else\u2019s bed during the night (85.8%), nightmares (51.2%), sleep terrors (26.4%), snoring (32.8%), bedwetting (31.6%), and teeth grinding (21.8%).
