ADHD and sleep disorders in children: Start with these resources

Professor Karen Bonuck of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine came to Fox 5 News to speak about how sleep disorders in children may be linked to or have similar effects as ADHD.

So can ADHD be misdiagnosed in some children who actually have sleep disorders?

Professor Bonuck conducted research studies of more than 11,000 children that linked behavior difficulties at 7 years and special education at 8 years to having sleep problems before the age of 5.
