This case report describes 2 cases of children (<24 months old) with hair-pulling disorder and concurrent highly disrupted sleep. Treatment aimed at addressing sleep hygiene through parental psychoeducation and training, competing items, and faded naptime/bedtime.
In both children, sleep hygiene intervention yielded significant improvement in sleep disruption patterns and hair-pulling behavior across approximately a 3-month period that maintained at 1- and 3-month follow-ups.
Identifying factors that may be related or concurrent to hair pulling in young children is vital in ensuring that treatment is individualized and effective.
