There have been several reviews of existing and historical reports (Iglostein et al., 2003; Matricciani, Olds & Petkov, 2012; Keys et al., 2015; Matricciani et al., 2017) of child sleep that have all concluded that child and adolescent sleep times decline in small but significant amounts each year.
