Sleep Problems Contribute to ADHD

A new study shows that adolescents with a history of sleep problems, nightmares, and/or snoring were twice as likely to have ADHD as those without sleep problems.  ADHD medication aggravated the problem in terms of an increased risk for teeth grinding.  Sleep is a critical time for rejuvenation of nerves and the lack of quality sleep is a clear health issue. 

Parents who are able to get their children on a proper sleep schedule are laying a big part of the foundation for future health and well being.  I have previously reported that a lack of sleep also contributes to obesity risk and the likelihood for future drug addiction. 

Parents are advised to have their children restrict the intake of caffeinated beverages and sugar, keep neurotoxins out of their food (like food coloring and aspartame), eat quality food (organic when possible), stay physically active, and have some relaxing activities prior to bedtime.

Coral calcium powder is easy to mix and give to children of any age to help them sleep.  Children old enough to swallow have numerous other options, including RelaxaMag, TriCal, and/or Sleep Helper.
