Children with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) or periodic leg movements during sleep (PLMS) often have hyperactive behavior that improves when the sleep disorder is treated. Some children with SDB also have PLMS. To determine what polysomnographic features of SDB might be associated with hyperactive behavior, we studied behavior, SDB, and PLMS in a series of patients.
