There was a statistically significant relationship between sleep time and daytime sleepiness (P=0.000) so that children who slept late were more sleepy during the day. There was a statistically significant relationship between sleepiness and waking up in the morning (P=0.000) so that children who woke up early were more sleepy during the day. There was a statistically significant relationship between sleepiness and sleeping behavior (P=0.000) so that children who did not have a proper sleep-wake pattern were more sleepy during the day. There was a statistically significant relationship between mother's education and waking up (P=0.000) so that children whose mothers had an academic education had a better sleep-wake patterns and their waking time was later than other children.
