Sleep disturbance mediates the relationship between injury severity and executive function difficulties in children 18 months following traumatic brain injury

Introduction: Sleep is a neurorestorative process and provides a plausible candidate mechanism to explain variability in children's functional outcomes after Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). A common consequence of TBI is difficulty with self-regulation and the mental processes required for planning, working memory and focussed attention. The aim of this study was to examine whether sleep disturbance mediates the relationship between TBI severity and executive functioning difficulties.
