The common jokes about snoring and poor sleep most commonly refer to middle aged and older men.  However, children shouldn’t be ignored with this issue!  Studies indicate that between one to three percent of school aged children suffer from sleep apnea.  In children it is frequently caused by large tonsils or enlarged adnoids.  Symptons for sleep apnea in children are not that different than those of adults.  The majority of them would have trouble sleeping at night or have difficulty breathing and are likely to be snorers as well.  Treatment for children is extremely critical so that they can develop good sleep habits and the rest that they need.
