Parental perceptions of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the sleep of children with neurodevelopmental disorders

Little is known about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on sleep in school-aged children with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). The present study aimed to: 1) determine and describe the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and 2) identify and describe contributing factors. Parents of children with NDDs and insomnia symptoms (n  = 100) were surveyed to determine if their child's sleep had changed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Parents who reported changes were asked to describe how the pandemic influenced their child's sleep.
