Signs that Show When Children Have Sleep Apnea

Bedwetting

Enuresis, also known as bedwetting, is a common behavior in young children. However, it becomes a problem if the child is doing it at least twice a week after the age of 5. Sleep apnea patients seldom get a good night’s rest and are constantly fatigued during the day. This very same might make them sleep through the night, even with a full bladder, and make them more likely to relieve themselves, wetting their bed without even noticing. Nevertheless, keep in mind that bedwetting may also be caused by other conditions preceding sleep apnea, so this sign alone is not enough to achieve a potential diagnosis.
