Snoring, mouth-breathing tots more likely to develop behavioral problems.
By RYAN JASLOW | CBS NEWS | March 5, 2012, 10:00 AM (CBS News) Snoring has been tied to many health problems in adults, including obesity, sleep apnea, and a higher risk for heart disease. But according to a new study, snoring may also be problematic for kids’ mental health. The study found toddlers who snore are more likely to develop behavioral problems like hyperactivity once they reach school-age. For the study, published in the March 5 issue of Pediatrics, researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in The Bronx, New York City, examined the impact of “sleep-disordered breathing” on kids’ behavior …

Sleep Quality and Baby Boomers: Snoring and Sleep Apnea as We Age.
Posted by Theresa Shumard on Jan 11, 2016 11:55:55 PM Hopefully, most baby boomers feel poised in their aging status and enjoy quality of life. Someone once said, “Age is a question of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.” Stated very simply, the demographers, sociologists and the media define baby boomers as those born between (and including) 1946 and 1964. Quality sleep for this demographic may be challenging, though, as people over the age of 40 have a higher risk factor for breathing problems during slumber. Problems during sleep such as heavy snoring and sleep apnea impact …
Even Children With Higher IQs Behave Better When Their Sleep Apnea Is Fixed.
Study: Behavior of children with higher intellectual ability improves as much as that of other kids after adenotonsillectomy for obstructive sleep apnea. Many doctors will ask about quality of sleep when children have problems at school, but new research shows it’s just as important to pay attention to how high achievers are sleeping. A study in today’s print edition of the International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology suggests doctors and parents should pay attention to snoring, labored breathing and other symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea in bright, high-performing children as well as those who struggle in school. The researchers studied 147 …
A sleep expert reveals the ideal start time for work and school.
ADAM BANICKI, TANYA LEWIS | JAN 1 2015, 2:30 PM Watch video: http://www.businessinsider.com/sleep-expert-says-work-should-start-later-2015-12#ooid=VyeDNrdzoqu6uw_MkgS6syfLY0G2z5cj A startling number of teenagers and young adults are chronically sleep deprived, and the answer is starting school or work later, one sleep expert argues. According to Paul Kelley, a sleep researcher at the University of Oxford, children between the ages of eight and 10 should start school no earlier than 8:30 a.m., 16-year-olds should start at or after 10 a.m., and 18-year-olds at 11 a.m or later. The suggestions come from a recent study published by Kelley and his colleagues in the journal Learning, Media and Technology. “At …
How To Assess The Impact Of A Tongue Tie On Patients: Osteopathic Considerations.
Why The Tongue Is So Important The tongue is the only muscle, or really group of muscles, in the body that has one freely moveable end. Not only is it attached to most fascial planes directly or indirectly, but it also has attachments on the hyoid bone, mandible, temporal bones, and other structures in the head. Structurally it can affect the digestive tract and respiratory tract. It has innervation from five cranial nerves – the trigeminal, facial, glossopharyngeal, vagus, and hypoglossus nerve. The tongue is complex and its involvement in swallowing and speaking are some of the most important …
Why children who sleep more get better grades.
Wednesday, December 23, 2015 10:35 AM UTC Sleep plays a fundamental role in the way we learn. Emerging evidence makes a compelling case for the importance of sleep for language learning, memory, executive function, problem solving and behaviour during childhood. A new study that my colleagues and I have worked on illustrated how an optimal quantity of sleep leads to more effective learning in terms of knowledge acquisition and memory consolidation. Poor quality of sleep – caused by lots of waking up during the night – has also been reported to be a strong predictor of lower academic performance, reduced …
