Is effect of a bad sleep(snoring, nightmares, ) on child brain development reversible?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: I am answered yes only because snoring and occasional nightmares have absolutely no effect on childhood brain development. Constant loss or lack of sleep can affect everyone in different ways. I do not think that it really affects development, long term.
