New research from Tel Aviv University (TAU) found that children suffering from sleep breathing disorders are often misdiagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and prescribed unsuitable medication.
Although trouble paying attention, forgetfulness, and poor impulse control are frequently linked to ADHD, these can also be symptoms of sleep deprivation. Furthermore, it can occasionally be difficult to distinguish between ADHD and sleep problems in children, as many of them struggle with both.
