Abstract: The present authors describe sleep problems, including sleep apnoea and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), in subjects with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS). The present paper reports a questionnaire study regarding sleep and behaviour in a group of 29 subjects with PWS, compared with an age- and gender-matched control group. Those with PWS suffered from sleep problems more frequently than the control subjects. Problems included EDS, snoring and early waking. Sleep problems in PWS were not associated with body mas… Show more

“…In contrast to other syndrome groups where age is often associated with deceasing rates of sleep difficulties, among children with PWS, the reported rate of sleep problems is reported to increase with age (Richdale et al, 1999).

“…Hertz et al [101] reported a significant correlation between daytime sleepiness and disruptive behavior as measured by care taker's ranking. Similarly, Richdale [89] reported increased behavioral disturbance in children and adolescents with PWS who also reported EDS. Finally, in Clarke et al's [88] survey, adult patients who reported EDS were more likely to exhibit temper tantrums during the day.…”
