A child may have sleep apnea if they show any of these signs:

- Daytime sleepiness, especially for kids who don't nap anymore



- Behavior problems at school or home, which may be misdiagnosed as ADHD or hyperactivity



- Sweating at night, which is a sign of sleep apnea's whole-body stress response



- Trouble sleeping, such as tangled sheets, being unable to sleep all night, or nightmares



- Loud or heavy breathing while sleeping, snoring, snorting, pauses in breathing, or gasping



- Difficulty waking up in the morning, with younger kids usually up earlier than teens



- Mouth breathing or a nasal-sounding voice, which can mean craniofacial issues that affect upper airway function

Often, snoring in children is the most obvious sign that they have trouble breathing at night. Sleep apnea and snoring are very commonly associated. A sleep specialist may be able to determine whether sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea, contribute to behavioral problems.
