Abstract

"Objective To assess the relationship between very low birth weight (VLBW; 1,500 g) and quality and amount of sleep in young adults. Methods We compared 89 VLBW and 78 term-born 19- to 26-year-old adults, by actigraphy and the Basic Nordic Sleep Questionnaire. Results There were no group differences in sleep quality or amount (ps .15), although VLBW adults went to bed on average 36 min earlier (95 confidence interval 666 min). Shorter gestational age was related to longer sleep latency both within VLBW (standardized regression coefficient beta=-.36, p=.040) and term-born adults (beta=-.25, p=.029). Conclusion Adults with VLBW had similar quality and amount of sleep as those born at term, although VLBW adults went to bed earlier, suggesting an advanced sleep phase. Within each group, a lower gestational age was related to a longer sleep onset."
