    Citation Excerpt :

    Even today, large wide-screen television sets are becoming increasingly more affordable and more prevalent, with many homes now having multiple sets [18]. Although early research found no significant correlation between television viewing and evening sleep duration for school-aged children [24], a number of subsequent studies have found a relationship between television viewing and a variety of sleep variables (see Table 1). For example, one study found that the number of hours of television watched per day predicted increased bedtime resistance in children aged 4–10 years, after controlling for demographic variables of age, gender, and socio-economic status [18].

    Mean sleep duration of all subjects in the current study population was 8.79 h (SD, 0.96). Hong Kong primary school children slept significantly less than their American counterparts from 6 to 12 years of age (Table 4).8 Hong Kong primary school boys slept significantly more than did girls: 8.84 h (SD, 0.95) vs 8.74 h (SD, 0.97; t = 2.94; degrees of freedom [df], 3045; p = 0.003).
