Slow wave activity and executive dysfunction in children with sleep disordered breathing.

CONCLUSIONS: SWA, a subtle measure of sleep disruption and sleep regulation, is associated with deficits in problem solving and sustained attention in children with SDB. As current mechanistic theories do not account for deficits observed in children with mild forms of SDB, this study provides a promising alternative.
