Emphasis on continuous infant sleep overnight may be driven by parental concern of risk to child mental health outcomes.

Both anxiety and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are associated with atypical physiological activity. Few studies have systematically assessed the resting physiological activity in ASD with co-occurring anxiety disorders.
