Nowadays, children under 6 years old become more interested in TV, computers and in Internet which can lead to difficulty falling asleep. Parent knowledge about child sleep hygiene can influence parent capacity to promote healthy sleep habits, and should be supported by accurate information.

Methodology A convenience sample of parents (n = 201) of children from three schools in a northern city of Portugal completed the "Sleep Ideas" Parent Survey on child sleep habits and parental basic sleep knowledge, beliefs and attitudes regarding sleep as a health behaviour. Results Of the 201 analysed surveys (response rate 67 %), 33.8 % are from parents of children aged under 3 years old, 19.4 % of children with 3 years older, 24.4 % of children with 4 years old, 16.4 % of children with 5 years old and 6.0 % of children with 6 years old. In general, the percentage of correct answers was 84.8 %. Regarding children age, the percentage of correct answers ranged between 77.9 to 86.2 %, being the parents of children with 6 years old those who had the highest percentage of incorrect answers (22.1 %) and, on the other hand, the parents of children with 3 years old those who had the lowest percentage of incorrect answers (13.8 %). The answer with the highest percentage of incorrect answers, in all parents, was “Making a physical effort before going to sleep makes falling asleep easier” (46.8 %). Conclusion In this study, parents revealed a very reasonable knowledge about sleep, which suggests a good capability to influence positively children’s habits.
