Three- to six-year-old children who snore have more symptoms of depression and anxiety, as well as attention and language problems, than their age-matched counterparts who do not snore, Finnish report reveals snoring as a possible risk factor for mood problems and cognitive impairment in preschool-aged children.
The snoring children were also more likely to have other sleep problems, such as nightmares, talking in their sleep, or difficulties going to bed. Brain function tests also showed some significant differences between the snorers and non-snorers, including decreased attention and language skills among children who snored.
