I recently read an article saying the symptoms of pediatric ADD can be the same as those of sleep apnea, i.e. some children may respond to sleep apnea with hyperactivity and attention disorders rather that fatigue as adults do. Now I can't find it for friends. Can anyone direct me to a source of info. on this topic? Nancy
