Asperger Syndrome and Sleep Issues

Monday, February 18th, 2008

This article confirms what I suspected about Asperger Syndrome and problems with sleep, particularly falling asleep.  Check out http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/11/071101085018.htm

In a nutshell, a study showed that 50 percent of the children with Asperger’s were reluctant to go to bed, and notably 50 percent felt unrefreshed when they woke up in the morning.  The next step:  what to do about this.  If anyone needs a good night’s rest to decompress it is children with Asperger Syndrome, who often feel overstimulated during the day.
