Altered sleep architecture in children and adolescents with Down syndrome

Abstract

Children with Down syndrome (DS) may experience changes in sleep architecture (i.e., different sleep stages) that then affect waketime functioning, including learning, mood, and disruptive behavior. For designing and testing interventions, it is important to document any differences in sleep architecture in children with DS with and without co‐occurring diagnoses, including neuropsychiatric diagnoses and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
