We conducted a survey of 335 mothers with children between the ages of 3-6 in order to clarify the changes sleeping habits of mothers changed in life by marriage and the relationship of the health behavior of mothers to the sleeping habits of children and to mother’s fatigue. In the survey, some mothers answered that their amount of sleep was shorter now than before marriage. We found that the decrease in sleep time was due to family-related tasks of housework, childrearing, and taking care of the husband.Moreover, we observed that there was a correlation between the sleeping habits of mothers and those of children, and that the mothers’ health behavior affected mother’s fatigue and children’s sleeping habits. Based on such findings, we propose that, health support for mothers, who are occupied with multiple tasks, such as housework, child-rearing, paid job, and other duties, is important in improving the sleeping habits of children. |
