This study examined whether parents of children diagnosed with neurodevelopmental disorders (n = 79) report greater sleep-related problems in their offspring than do parents of normal community-based children (n = 86) on a research questionnaire developed to assess sleep and breathing problems, sleepiness, and behavioral problems. Clinical subgroups included: attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (n = 43), learning disabilities (LD) (n = 11), and combined ADHD/LD (n = 25). Analyses revealed that parents of children with neurodevelopmental disorders report greater problems along all three dimensions than parents of normal control children. Sleep-related difficulties were reported at the same frequency across all three clinical subgroups. No significant difference between clinical and control groups was noted, however, in the reported length of sleep on weeknights. These preliminary findings suggest that sleep-related problems need to be routinely reviewed as part of the clinical evaluation of neurodevelopmental problems, because they may contribute to and/or exacerbate the behavioral manifestation of these disorders.
