FASD and Sleep Disturbances Predict Anxiety Article

Sleep Disturbance as a Predictor of Anxiety in Children With FASD and Typically Developing Children

“This is the largest study to examine sleep in FASD. We report that a significant proportion of anxiety can be predicted by sleep problems.  Children with FASD experienced significantly higher levels of sleep problems and anxiety than typically developing children, the majority at clinical levels.  Sleep interventions should be a clinical priority for children with FASD.”
