Abstract: Objective: Sleep hygiene recommendations are commonly given to address patient-reported concerns about sleep, yet few studies have examined the relationship between sleep hygiene and sleep disturbances in the context of pediatric oncology. Because poor sleep may affect the patient's experience of cancer-related symptoms, understanding whether sleep hygiene practices influence sleep disturbances and symptoms may be important to improving symptom burden.Methods: One hundred and two caregivers of children ages 5-17 and 59 patients ages 8-17 receiving treatment for cancer completed parallel measures of child sleep, sleep hygiene, pain, fatigue, and nausea. Sleep hygiene practices were described, correlates between measures were examined, and the indirect relationship of sleep hygiene on symptom burden through sleep disturbances was tested using PROCESS.Results: Patients received adequate sleep for age but sleep timing was later than recommended for more than half of the sample and consistency in sleep times was poor. Sleep disturbances were moderately related to all symptoms, with the exception of patient-reported fatigue. Consistent sleep habits were indirectly related to fewer cancer-related symptoms of pain, fatigue, and nausea through sleep disturbances by caregiver report but not patient report.Conclusion: Sleep disturbances are closely related to pain, fatigue, and nausea in pediatric cancer. Consistency in sleep/wake routines and schedules may be important to experiencing fewer sleep disturbances and lower symptom burden. Providing recommendations supporting consistent sleep habits broadly across pediatric oncology may be more effective than only presenting sleep hygiene recommendations to patients experiencing poor sleep.
