      Study.
PG  - 758-766
AB  - Sleep problems are commonly seen in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). 
      According to previous research, sensory problems and anxiety may be related to 
      the development and maintenance of sleep problems in children with ASD. To 
      determine pattern and severity sleep disturbance in children with autism spectrum 
      disorder. This descriptive cross sectional study was done in Institute of 
      Paediatric Neuro-disorder and Autism (IPNA) and Department of Paediatric 
      Neurology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka, Bangladesh from 
      October 2017 to September 2018. A total of 59 children aged 3 to 15 year who were 
      diagnosed as ASD according to the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical 
      Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) were enrolled in this study. Sleep 
      disturbances were recorded in the standard questionnaire. The mean age was 
      49.78+/-20.69 months and male to female ratio was almost 4:1. More than two third 
      (69.2%) patients had sleep awakening in mild, 7(36.8%) in moderate autism 
      spectrum disorder. The difference was statistically significant (p<0.05) among 
      three groups. More than half (56.4%) patients had sleep starting 12 am to 2 am in 
      mild, 3(15.8%) in moderate autism spectrum disorder. The difference was 
      statistically significant (p<0.05) among three groups. Sleep awakening and sleep 
      starting time were significantly associated with autism spectrum disorder.
