Sleep Europe 2024 | Impact of sleep disorders on child development: sleep-disordered breathing, behavior, & academics

Karen Spruyt, PhD, Université Paris Cité, INSERM, NeuroDiderot, Paris, France, discusses the impact of sleep disorders in children, particularly focusing on sleep-disordered breathing and its comorbidities, which significantly affect academic performance and behavioral issues. She highlights that generic sleep problems increase the risk of social and emotional challenges, with specific effects observed throughout development, especially in adolescence, where shifts in sleep patterns can lead to psychiatric issues. This interview took place at the Sleep Europe 2024 congress in Seville, Spain.
