Results Thirty eight (95%) patients reported suffering from disturbed sleep in the hospital. Out of all patients, 23 (58%) had problems falling asleep because of pain, 20 (50%) woke up during the night because of pain and 38 (95%) indicated tiredness during the day. Higher maximal pain during the preceding 36 hours and the occurrence of pain in the night before the questioning took place was related to worse sleep quality as well as to higher sleepiness at the time of interview. Current sleepiness and a general sleepiness during the day were associated with a higher subjective pain level. The same results could be found in case of lower sleep quality during the whole stay in the hospital and in case of sleep disturbance in the night before the questioning took place. Conclusions Recovery after a surgical intervention will be supported by sufficient sleep quality. Therefore the high incidence of sleep related problems in postoperative children and adolescents is disadvantageous. As there is an association between pain and the quality of sleep, interventions like an adapted pain management should be discussed. Due to the lack of validation of the interviews and the exploratory study design, these results need to be confirmed in further studies.
