Infants’ sleep patterns can be disrupted if their parents are constantly arguing, a new study finds.
Infants who heard regular blow-ups between parents when they were 9 months old continued to have troubled sleep patterns — marked by problems getting to sleep and staying asleep — even when they were 18-month-old toddlers.
More than 300 U.S. children and parents were stuydies, and all of the children were adopted at birth in order to control for any influence of genetics.
