The authors of the monograph discuss conceptual and methodological issues in the study of sleep‐behavior associations, report on the advantages and disadvantages of various techniques for assessing sleep in infants and children, and suggest the importance of examining sleep‐behavior relations across multiple disciplines of influence. The primary focus of this commentary is to highlight how these new perspectives contribute to our emerging understanding of sleep‐behavior relations in infancy and childhood, as well as to propose further challenges and avenues for future research.
