Summary

The development of sleep-wake behavior is considered to be one of the most important maturation processes occurring in the first year of life. Sleep-wake behavior is related to neurobehavioral regulation of the infant and cognitive function, and gives important information about infant's health. It is suggested that the identification of sleep-wake patterns in preterm infants is critical to the detection of future disorders, early diagnosis and planning of intervention studies In this study we aimed to recruit a total of 25 premature babies born between 28 to 37 weeks of gestational age over six month in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Marmara University Pendik Training and Research Hospital. Sleep wake cycles of these premature infants will be assessed at 32 weeks corrected age by actigraphy, sleep diaries, direct observation and Amplitude integrated electroencephalography (aEEG). We also aimed to investigate the maturation of sleep patterns of these infants included in the study at postconceptional 40th weeks of age, and 12th, and at 24th weeks corrected age, by sleep diaries and actigraphic measurements at their home environment. Development will be assessed by Bayley and Ages and Stages Questionnaire.
