Official title: NSR-SLEEP
Funded at University of California, San Francisco · NIH-11605229 · Data updated 2026-11-12
A study of children with perinatal brain injury, focusing on how sleep health and family resources relate to executive function in kids who may have ADHD-like symptoms.

Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Children with a history of perinatal brain injury (provoked neonatal seizures or hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy) from diverse family resource backgrounds.
✕Less likely to help
Children without a history of perinatal brain injury or those not within the study’s age and resource criteria are unlikely to benefit.
What this research studies
This project looks at kids who had perinatal brain injury, such as neonatal seizures or HIE, to understand how sleep patterns and family resources influence thinking and self-control. Researchers will use data from the Neonatal Seizure Registry and work with Hope for HIE to test if sleep health helps explain why lower-resource families see more challenges in executive function. The study also explores how child sleep relates to parent well-being, and it will identify risk factors for poor sleep in these children. The approach combines existing infrastructure with flexible analyses to uncover meaningful links that could guide interventions.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, findings could inform targeted sleep and family-support strategies to improve executive function and overall well-being in children with perinatal brain injury.
How similar studies have gone: Prior work shows sleep health and socio-economic factors relate to neurodevelopment, but this study tests mediation in a specific high-risk group, which is relatively novel.
