Reuters (9/18, Rapaport) reports, “Treating kids’ behavior problems might have the additional benefit of reducing their risk of insomnia as adults,” researchers concluded after following “8,050 people over more than four decades, assessing behavior problems at ages 5, 10 and 16, then administering sleep surveys when participants were 42 years old.” The study revealed that children “with severe behavior issues were 39 percent more likely to have insomnia by the time they were adults than children who had normal behavior.” The findings were published online in JAMA Network Open.
