Brief Summary

The investigators want to better understand how children sleep at night at MSKCC, so that the investigators can learn how to improve the sleeping environment.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• quality of sleep

  (using the Sleep at MSK questionnaire)

  3 nights

Study Arms (1)

Pediatrics cancer patients

Eligible patients will be approached for enrollment after their first night in the hospital (i.e.: not on day of admission). Patient/parent will be asked to complete a brief questionnaire describing the child's general sleep habits prior to admission. The parent and/or child will then be asked to complete a questionnaire describing sleep while in the hospital; this in-hospital sleep questionnaire will be obtained for 3 consecutive nights after enrollment, or until discharge, whichever is soonest. A subgroup of patients (between the ages of 5 and 18) will be invited to participate in an additional aspect of the study, where they wear an actigraph (a small device that looks like a watch) for up to 72 hours. This device reliably measures sleep by monitoring the child's motion. This will be used to relate sleep perception to more objective measures of sleep as provided by actigraphy.

Behavioral: questionnaires; Device: actigraph

Interventions

questionnaires BEHAVIORAL

Pre-hospital sleep questionnaire completed (Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire (BISQ)7 in children 0-3 years old; Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ)8 in children 4 years and older). Subsequent Day(s): In-hospital sleep questionnaire completed between one and three times per subject (Sleep at MSK questionnaire (SAM), adapted from Sleep in a Children's Hospital (SinCH)9 by Dr. Lisa Meltzer). (Patients will be observed for up to 3 consecutive nights in total).

actigraph DEVICE

This device reliably measures sleep by monitoring the child's motion.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 0 Months - 18 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Child (0-17), Adult (18-64)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

All eligible patients admitted to the pediatric floor at MSK.

You may qualify if:

• Parent/Patient must provide written consent
• Patient must be between the ages of: Newborn - ≤ 18 years of age
• Patient is expected to be admitted to the Pediatric floor at MSK for at least 2 nights (patients/parents will not be approached for consent on day of admission or day of discharge)
• Patient/parent must be English speaking

You may not qualify if:

• Expected length of stay of fewer than 2 nights (for example.: if admitted Monday and discharged Tuesday, patient/parent will not be eligible).
• Patient /Parent unable to complete questionnaire due to education or language barriers.
• Patients admitted to the PICU. (Only children on M9 will be included. It is known that sleep in the PICU is highly disordered; as such, we will be excluding PICU patients from this study).
