There was a great article in the US News & World Report recently that looked at the complex relationship between sleep and attention deficit disorder. (See link below.) While the experts quoted in the piece haven't determined exactly what the link is between sleep and ADD, they're definitely confident that a link exists.<br /><br />But what I found more interesting was a New York Times article from 2013 in which Dr. Vatsal G. Thakkar determined that a large group of kids who had been diagnosed with ADHD were, in fact, suffering from a sleep deficit. <br /><br />It's a phenomenon I feel like every parent should be aware of, and I'll talk more about it in this week's video.<br /><br />bit.ly/ADHDSleepDep

There was a great article in the US News & World Report recently that looked at the complex relationship between sleep and attention deficit disorder. (See link below.) While the experts quoted in the piece haven’t determined exactly what the link is between sleep and ADD, they’re definitely confident that a link exists.

But what I found more interesting was a New York Times article from 2013 in which Dr. Vatsal G. Thakkar determined that a large group of kids who had been diagnosed with ADHD were, in fact, suffering from a sleep deficit.

It’s a phenomenon I feel like every parent should be aware of, and I’ll talk more about it in this week’s video.
