Children and adolescents are growing up in a technological age, with 75% of children having electronic screen-based devices in their bedrooms and 60% of adolescents interacting with screens in the hour before bedtime.87,88 Research is emerging on how blue light emitted by electronic devices contributes to hyperarousal and decreased sleepiness at bedtime.89 Presence of a television and or computer/electronic gaming console in a child’s or adolescent’s bedroom has been related to delayed bedtimes, shorter time in bed and TST, increased bedtime resistance, sleep anxiety, parasomnias, more SRBDs and higher overall sleep disturbance.90 This is particularly relevant in children receiving home-based hospice or palliative care, where the living room may become their bedroom to provide space to accommodate medical equipment.
