In the Pasco County School District and Tampa Bay, FL Region, we have been involved in a National Research Study on Sleep Disorders in 2002-03. After screening approximately 400 children who were referred to School Psychologists for learning or behavior problems, approximately 30% in this screening appeared to have a sleep disorder. Initial reports from parents and teachers of the students' whose sleep disorders were corrected indicated immediately improved behaviors (better cooperation, concentration, work production, and less impulsivity, aggressiveness, irritability, and resistance) after the sleep disorder was corrected. The achievement and GPA gradually improves if the child is not mentally handicapped.
