A Faded Bedtime with Response Cost Protocol for Treatment of Multiple Sleep Problems in Children.

Piazza, Cathleen C.; Fisher, Wayne

Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, v24 n1 p129-40 Spr 1991

The sleep-wake cycles of 4 developmentally delayed individuals (ages 3-19) with severe sleep disturbances were regulated using a faded bedtime procedure with response cost. Following treatment, all four increased their amounts of nighttime sleep; two decreased their excessive daytime sleep; and three decreased their night wakings. (Author/JDD)
