Could snoring children really have lower intelligence?

See below: It has been seen in the literature, that untreated sleep apnea in children can affect learning, processing, and other developmental functions. Sleep apnea relates to poor quality and quantity of sleep, and sleep is important to good health, for adults and children. It is recommended if sleep apnea symptoms are present, to see a sleep doctor for evaluation of them. Hope that helps!

Unfortunately yes...: Snoring MAY be a sign of breathing and sleep issues; which can effect behavior and school performance. Get your child evaluated ASAP (Pediatrician).. Thanks for caring and asking!
