Snoring may deprive some children of sleep and make them hyperactive, says aresearcher in Ohio. Jennifer Janusz of Columbus Children’s Hospital discoveredfrom doctors that operations to remove tonsils often stopped children snoringand sometimes cured hyperactivity and attention problems. After studying a group of 56 children she found that snoring childrensuffered attention problems not unlike those of hyperactive kids. Doctors shouldask all children with attention difficulties how much they snore before treatingthem with drugs, Janusz urged a meeting of the American PsychologicalAssociation in Boston last week.
