Total sleep time is objectively the lowest during the 1 month postpartum though it steadily increases toward normal. [1] Main contributing factors influencing sleep during the postpartum period are infant behaviour such as infant sleep and feeding patterns, bed-sharing and infant temperament.

SIDS has become much less common in recent decades but it still remains a leading cause of infant mortality, killing about 3,500 babies a year in the U.S.
At around 2 months, a day-night pattern begins to gradually develop. [8] At around 3 months, sleep cycle may increase to 3–6 hours, [2] and the majority of infants will still wake in the night to feed. [9] By 4 months, the average infant sleeps 14 hours a day (including naps), but this amount can vary considerably. [10]
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder predominantly inattentive (ADHD-PI or ADHD-I), [3] is one of the three presentations of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). [4] In 1987–1994, there were no subtypes or presentations and thus it was not distinguished from hyperactive ADHD in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-III-R).
Primary sleep disorders may affect attention and behaviour and the symptoms of ADHD may affect sleep. [225] It is thus recommended that children with ADHD be regularly assessed for sleep problems. [226] Sleepiness in children may result in symptoms ranging from the classic ones of yawning and rubbing the eyes, to disinhibition and inattention.
