Abstract

The sleep health of caregivers of children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is often overlooked in clinical practice and research. This study characterizes the sleep health of caregivers of children with DMD (4-17 years) compared to parents of age-matched, unaffected children. We explore potential contributors to parental sleep efficiency and hypothesize that child awakenings will have a considerable influence on parental sleep efficiency.
