Because obstructive sleep apnea may disturb sleep patterns, these children may also show continued sleepiness after awakening in the morning and tiredness and attention problems throughout the day. Sometimes apnea can affect school performance. One recent study suggests that some children diagnosed with ADHD actually have attention problems in school because of disrupted sleep patterns caused by obstructive sleep apnea.

Hey bugzappers, I get it, cause I don't sleep. It made a huge difference in my sons behavior when I gave him Melatonin and he started to sleep. He still needs a sleep study but is 9 with high anziety and could not handle it yet.
