This study was conducted to investigate parent-reported sleep problems in a sample of Egyptian children with ADHD and to examine the relationship between their sleep, sy...

METHODS Data from 1081 married individuals who participated in the Korean Genome and Epidemiol...

In stroke patients particularly, many factors, such as sleep-related respiratory disturbances, can impair sleep. Cheap and easy-to-use tools have been created to identify sleep quality and sleep disturbances in patients after stroke. This study described the scores of the sleep apnea screening questionnaire - STOP-BANG - in patients after a stroke, and correlated the findings with sleep quality...

BACKGROUND Disturbed sleep is detrimental to child behavior; however, the precise means by which this association occurs is unclear. Sleep and resilience can theoretically share an underlying neural mechanism and therefore influence one another. However, the role of resilience in the association between sleep and behavior is not known. The associations between sleep, resilience, and problematic...

By early school age, the average child has spent nearly half of his/her life asleep. In fact, it can be argued that sleep is the primary activity of the brain during early development. By two years of age, the average child has spent almost 10,000 hours (nearly 14 months) asleep (1). In these two years, the brain has reached 90% of adult size (2), and the child has attained remarkable complexit...

Individual change and variation in emotional/behavioral disturbance in children and adolescents with intellectual disability has received little empirical investigation. Based on 11 years of longitudinal data from the Australian Child to Adult Development Study, we report associations among individual differences in level, rate of change, and occasion-specific variation across subscales of the ...
