TL;DR
Children with habitual snoring are more likely to have objectively measured snoring and daytime morbidity and daytime somnolence.
Abstract
Parental report of habitual snoring is very common. Children with habitual snoring are more likely to have objectively measured snoring and daytime morbidity.

1,195 Citations1998David Gozal
SAGEA is frequently present in poorly performing first-grade students in whom it adversely affects learning performance and the data suggest that a subset of children with behavioral and learning disabilities could have SAGEA and may benefit from prospective medical evaluation and treatment.

1,179 Citations1999Susan Redline, Peter V. Tishler +4 more
The importance of upper and lower respiratory problems and obesity as risk factors for sleep-disordered breathing in children and adolescents is suggested, and increased risk in African Americans appears to be independent of the effects of obesity or respiratory problems.

Children whose parents report snoring and sleep disturbance have objective evidence of sleep disruption and show more behaviour problems than controls, and parents and teachers thought those in the high risk group were more hyperactive and inattentive than the controls, but only their parents thought them more aggressive.

Oximetry could be the definitive diagnostic test for straightforward OSA attributable to adenotonsillar hypertrophy in children older than 12 months of age, or quickly and inexpensively identify children with a history suggesting sleep-disordered breathing who would require PSG to elucidate the type and severity.

Among children, symptoms such as snoring and apneic episodes are reported relatively seldom, but a high proportion of the children with these symptoms have hypoxic respiratory events, and a lower limit of the sleep apnea syndrome prevalence among preschool children is identified.

492 Citations1995H Bearpark, Lawrence Elliott +5 more
In middle-aged men, both snoring and sleep apnea are extremely common, and in this age range both are associated with obesity but not with age, however, a high percentage of snoring is not essential for the occurrence of sleep Apnea, nor does it necessarily indicate that apnea is present.

It is concluded that childhood OSAS is associated with systemic diastolic hypertension, and multiple linear regression showed that blood pressure could be predicted by apnea index, body mass index, and age.

It is concluded that OSA in children is associated with increased LV mass, and right and left ventricular dimensions and LV mass index and geometry were measured in 28 children with OSA and 19 children with primary snoring.
PEDIATRICSSnoring During Early Childhood and Academic Performance at Ages Thirteen to Fourteen Years
440 Citations2001David Gozal, Dennis W. Pope
Children with lower academic performance in middle school are more likely to have snored during early childhood and to require T&A for snoring compared with better performing schoolmates, and the concept that SDB-associated neurocognitive morbidity may be only partially reversible or that a "learning debt" may develop with SDB during early Childhood and hamper subsequent school performance is supported.

After adenotonsillectomy the SBD group showed a significant reduction in aggression, inattention and hyperactivity on the parent Conners scale, and an improvement in vigilance on the Continuous Performance Test, and the snorer group improved showing less hyperactive behaviour than pre-operatively and better vigilance.

Annals of MedicineSleep-disordered breathing in children
116 Citations1998Christian Guilleminault, Rafael Pelayo
Sleep-disordered breathing in children is a spectrum that combines obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome and the upper airway resistance syndrome and studies that do not take into account this spectrum may misclassify symptomatic patients as 'primary snorers'.
