Most of the adolescents surveyed do not get enough sleep, and their sleep loss interferes with daytime functioning.

1,394 Citations2000Ronald D. Chervin, Kristen Hedger +2 more
These scales for childhood SRBDs, snoring, sleepiness, and behavior are valid and reliable instruments that can be used to identifySRBDs or associated symptom-constructs in clinical research when polysomnography is not feasible.
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care MedicineRisk Factors for Sleep-disordered Breathing in Children: Associations with Obesity, Race, and Respiratory Problems
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.

888 Citations1993Noorjahan Ali, D Pitson +1 more
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.

Increased awareness of OSA and examination of the sleeping patient should result in earlier treatment and less morbidity for infants and children with OSA.

569 Citations2001Maurice M. Ohayon, Kasey K. Li +1 more
Among the associated risk factors, patients with anxiety and sleep-disordered breathing have a higher number of risk factors for sleep bruxism, and this must raise concerns about the future of these individuals.
Seminars in Pediatric NeurologyThe impact of inadequate sleep on children's daytime cognitive function
561 Citations1996Ronald E. Dahl
Findings are discussed in relation to a model of sleep loss influencing prefrontal cortex including executive functions involved in the control of attention and emotions that results in tiredness, difficulties with focussed attention, low threshold to express negative affect, and difficulty modulating impulses and emotions.
CHEST JournalSnoring, Apneic Episodes, and Nocturnal Hypoxemia Among Children 6 Months to 6 Years Old
558 Citations1995Þórarinn Gíslason, Bryndís Benediktsdóttir
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.

The caregivers of 61 eligible children completed a 20-item (OSA-20) health-related quality-of-life survey after polysomnography was performed to psychometrically validate the OSA-20 to find the impact of OSAS on quality of life was small for 20 children, moderate for 19, and large for 22.

Although sleepwalking, night terrors, enuresis, and body rocking dramatically decreased during childhood, somniloquy, leg restlessness, and sleep bruxism were still highly prevalent at age 13 years, paralleling results found in adults.

A parent report questionnaire concerning sleep habits and problems was developed by the parents of 1000 unscreened elementary school children attending the third, fourth, and fifth grades and found boys who slept poorly were significantly more likely to have insomniac fathers.
Journal of Developmental & Behavioral PediatricsSleep and Behavior Problems Among Preschoolers
268 Citations1999John V. Lavigne, Richard Arend +5 more
The relationship between less sleep at night and the presence of a DSM-III-R psychiatric diagnosis was significant and further research is needed to ascertain whether sleep is playing a causal role in the increase of behavior problems.
PubMedDo bruxism and temporomandibular disorders have a cause-and-effect relationship?
236 Citations1997Frank Lobbezoo, Giller J. Lavigne
It is concluded that the relationship between bruxism and temporomandibular disorders is still unclear and future research should examine longitudinal epidemiologic and clinical/experimental data to establish or refute a cause-and-effect relationship.

187 Citations2000E. Juulia Paavonen, ET Aronen +5 more
It is concluded that by restricting questioning to parents only, one‐third of all potential cases of sleep problems may go unnoticed, and both parents and children should provide information in epidemiological settings as well as in clinical work to increase the sensitivity of screening children's sleep problems.

180 Citations2001Ronald D. Chervin, Kristen Hedger Archbold +2 more
Children with PSQ-identified sleep problems at 2 general pediatrics clinics seldom had these problems addressed, diagnosed, or treated, despite discussions about some aspect of their sleep in the large majority of cases, support expansion of clinician and parent education about sleep disorders in children.

The prevalence of habitual snoring and its associations with respiratory symptoms, personal and familial risk factors, ear, nose, and throat (ENT) abnormalities, and its influence on ventilatory function were studied in a sample of 190 children aged 5 to 6 years from nine kindergartens in Nancy.
SeizureImprovement of epileptic seizure control with treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea

Headaches occurring during the night or early morning are often related to a sleep disturbance, and the question of the interaction and association of sleep-related headache and periodic limb movement syndrome is unresolved.
Sleep MedicineFactors affecting sleep disturbances in children and adolescents
99 Citations2000Stephanie Camhi
It is concluded that in children as in adults, respiratory symptoms are associated with sleep disturbances and the increased insomnia seen in adult women may begin in early adolescence.
