Is it Sleep Apnea, ADHD, or Lack of Pare...

DR. MONA AMIN
About this episode

Sleep apnea and ADHD can greatly impact sleep, but are often not discussed when discussing a sleep quality evaluation. On this episode, I welcome back Dr. Shelby Harris, a licensed clinical psychologist who is board-certified and specializes in behavioral sleep medicine.


We discuss: 

  • How sleep apnea and ADHD affect your child’s sleep and behavior 
  • When to be concerned about your child’s sleep 
  • Is it parenting or something more?
