Title of project: 
Longitudinal associations of DNA methylation and sleep in children
Proposal summary: 

Sleep is important for healthy functioning in children. However, the biological factors underlying sleep development in childhood remain unclear. Epigenetic processes may serve as a biological mechanism that underlie differences in child sleep characteristics.

Impact of research: 
DNA methylation patterns associated with childhood sleep characteristics may provide insights into mechanisms by which genetic and environmental exposures in early life influence sleep.
