Sleep Apnea in Teens Linked to Social, Behavioral Woes
Teenagers with obstructive sleep apnea are at higher risk of behavioral and learning problems, according to a new study.
Obstructive sleep apnea is a sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops during sleep because the airway is blocked. Common symptoms include snoring and a loud snort or gasp for breath after a pause in breathing, which can happen up to 30 times an hour.
