ADD, ADHD, Bedwetting and the Connection to Sleep Apnea – Las Vegas, NV
Stop the Consequences of Poor-Quality Sleep
Did you know that bedwetting, ADD, and ADHD in children may have a common solution? Improving your child's sleep quality can make a significant difference. Often, symptoms that resemble ADD and ADHD could be attributed to a sleep disorder like sleep apnea. By prioritizing your child's restful sleep, you can address attention issues while enjoying the added benefit of potentially resolving bedwetting concerns.
How are ADD and ADHD Linked to Sleep Disorders?
ADD and ADHD share common symptoms of poor focus and impulsive behaviors. However, these symptoms can also indicate sleep apnea, which causes frequent breathing interruptions during the night, preventing sufficient time in deep sleep for healthy mental and physical development.
How is Bedwetting & Sleep Disordered Breathing Linked to Sleep Disorders?
Sleep Apnea and Mouth Breathing increase the risk for bedwetting as they can impair the proper exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide as well as constrict the airway. Bladder pressure or the production of certain hormones could also be affected and subsequently lead to bedwetting.
