We studied 556 clínica! histories of children ranging in ageji-oin O to 6 years old and found sleep disorders in 148 o/ the 556 cases (23%) reviewed. These 148 cases were divided into two groups depending on the existence ar not of a demandy by the childfor attentionfrom the parents. The former groups is denominated as "Jnsomnia" (when /here is a lack of demand of attention) and "Tyrannization,, (when the demandjor attention is evident).
The comparíson between botb groups was pe1:fonned by nieans qf' binomial calculation, the d{fferences being signff'icant in some qj' the variables studied. Thus, it semms that "Tyrannization" should associated witb situations qj'rívaliy ánd jealousy in ve1y deside1·d children who had been educated in a permissive way, whilst "Insomnía;, in our series seems linked more to matureness, bereavement in thefamiliy and rejection attitude by parents towards the child.
