Americans view in co-sleeping
Findings:
For Egyptians, a high prevalence of co-sleeping is seen as their culture favors co-sleeping and the trend is unlikely to change because even though negative effects are observed by some research. The culture plays a big role on co-sleeping decision
Japanese: It is a social norm that parents should co-sleep with their new born babies as it is a sign of family unity. It is a tradition that passed on to every generation.
For Japanese, a high co-sleeping rate is also observed. unlike Egyptian, it is simply a part of Japanese culture without obvious reasons. It is possible that because Japanese culture emphasize respecting the elderly, therefore when the habit of co-sleeping is passed on the younger generation by elderly, no questions were asked despite co-sleeping gives rise to some sleep problems in Japanese.
