Description	Iwatani Y., Kagitani-Shimono K., Ono A., et al. Regular sleep habits in toddlers are associated with social development and brain coherence. Sleep Medicine 124, 531 (2024); https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sleep.2024.10.018.
Abstract	Objective: Although sleep habits are associated with the development of toddlers, factors affecting social development and brain function remain unclear. We aimed to elucidate the relationship between sleep habits and social development as well as brain coherence in toddlers. Methods: We used the data set at 1.5–2 years old, in the longitudinal study until 6 years old. We evaluated sleep parameters, such as average wake-up time, bedtime, nighttime sleep duration, total sleep duration, and the standard deviation (SD) of sleep habits. We also examined the development, including the social stimuli fixation percentage using Gazefinder® and electroencephalography (EEG) coherence between brain regions. Results: Seventy-two children (37 boys and 35 girls) were included. The fixation percentage for the human face was negatively correlated with the SD of the total sleep duration, nighttime sleep duration, nap duration, and bedtime (r = −0.516, p = 0.000; r = −0.331, p = 0.005; r = −0.330, p = 0.005; and r = −0.324, p = 0.005, respectively). The EEG analysis indicated that α-band coherence in the right centro-parietal area was negatively correlated with the total sleep duration (r = −0.283, p = 0.016). The path diagram demonstrated a direct significant effect of sleep duration irregularity on development including social communication and fixation percentage for human faces. Additionally, total sleep duration exhibited a direct effect on α cortical coherence in the right centro-parietal area. Conclusions: In this study, we found an association between sleep irregularity and the development of social communication, preference for humans, and brain coherence in toddlers. We suggest that regular sleep plays an important role in promoting the development of social communication.
