Sleep disordered breathing (SBD) in children ranges in severity from primary snoring to Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS). SBD is known to impact on sleep and health and evidence also suggests negative impacts on neuropsychological and psychosocial performance. However, the prevalence of SBD in children remains to be clearly established. In addition, the degree of neuropsychological and psychosocial impairment in children with SBD and the severity of SBD is that it is necessary for this impairment to be evident, remain established. These questions were examined in the four studies that comprise this thesis.
