CheapCPAPSupplies.com Now Offers Help for Children with Childhood Sleep Apnea
Asheville, NC (PRWEB) August 12, 2013 -- Recent studies indicate that between 1 and 4 percent of children suffer from sleep apnea, a condition that affects night-time breathing. Many of these children are young—between 2 and 8 years old. Some researchers suggest that children may grow out of sleep apnea, but even so, while symptoms persist, studies show that as many as 25% of children who are diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder may have symptoms of sleep apnea. This diagnosis of ADHD could be a sign of chronic fragmented sleep, affecting a child’s ability to process information, plan, organize, and self-regulate.
Besides ADHD, several other child-related syndromes may be related to poor sleep due to sleep apnea. Bet-wetting, hormonal and metabolic problems, sleep-walking and even retarded growth may be associated with sleep apnea. Recent studies indicate that possibly even childhood obesity is connected to sleep apnea, possibly because poor sleep affects both a child’s appetite and his or her ability to exercise properly due to lack of energy.
