An allergy expert is helping parents recognise the symptoms of childhood obstructive sleep apnoea, which could mean kids will get a better night's sleep in their children's storage beds.
Dr Brian Rotskoff from Clarity Allergy Center in Chicago has advised: "If your child is a restless sleeper who chronically snores and mouth breaths and shows signs of daytime difficulties, obstructive sleep apnoea could be the cause."
The allergy, asthma and immunology expert has pointed out the symptoms of slee...
Kids go to bed almost 40 minutes later than their grandparents did and snack more unhealthily before they do so, new research has found.
These differences are having a detrimental effect on children's ability to get a good night's sleep, but at least modern children are more likely to have a new bed with storage for their toys and a room of their own.
The Sleep Council's survey of 1,006 adults with grandchildren aged seven to 14 also revealed that 24 per cent of grandparents went to bed on a sch...
Giving up sleep to spend more time studying won't help students, a study has found.
When it comes to student priorities, number one should be a bed with drawers full of study guides, with long nights of revising taking second place, research by the University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA) suggests.

The findings of the study, which has been published in the journal Brain, revealed ...
Those with insomnia could be given access to more help on the NHS, thanks to trials of cognitive behaviour therapy (CBTi) as a treatment for the condition.
A new training programme has been set up which aims to offer CBTi as an alternative to sleeping tablets to help people drift off in their beds with storage.
Cognitive behaviour therapy is a treatment that targets the patient's thought patterns and attitudes, and "trains" them into new ways of thinking. It is used to treat anxiety, depression ...
Parents who are concerned that their preschool child's sleep is disrupted should think twice about what's on the box before bedtime.
New research has indicated that age-appropriate TV programmes could give children a better night's sleep than the more violent offerings intended for older kids, meaning children could have a more peaceful experience in their kids storage beds if their viewing is adjusted.
An example given in ABC News's report on the subject (August 6th) cited the character of Big ...
