Attention Deficit Disorder is an issue linking poor sleep hygiene and mental health (Buckhalt et al., 2009). Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD) is a rapidly growing diagnosis of child that may have its roots in poor sleep habits for some children diagnosed. In addition to sleep affecting academic performance, poor sleep hygiene can impact a child’s health by inducing stress and then stress induced illnesses, which will impact the child’s performance at school, especially if they are missing class because they are sick. The author has seen an increase in older child clients being referred to a psychiatrist for evaluation for ADHD because of behavioral problems in day care or preschool. However after evaluation the problem turned out to be a sleep problem due to the child's lack of knowing how to fall asleep on the child's own, frequent night wakings and not enough quality sleep. In 2007 there was a long-term study done on 1037 people to assess for childhood sleep time and long term risk for obesity. The study, conducted by Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Research Unit, Dept. of preventative and social medicine, Dunedine School of Medicine and University of Otag found that shorter childhood sleep times were significantly associated with higher adult BMI values (Landhuis, Poulton, Welch & Hancox, 2007). Therefore, proper sleep habits, that include not just enough time in bed, but rather a consistent route of going to bed, waking and getting enough sleep contribute to better academic performance. In Singapore, there is much pressure to do the required schooling plus additional tuition and training. However if a child is not well rested, the child’s ability to take in all the information and synthesis it will be compromised. A child needs both enough time in bed but also consolidated sleep that involves no night wakings. If a child at the age of 12 months and up is still waking 1, 2, 3 or more times this is highly fragmented sleep that is not good quality and overtime will result in a shortage of sleep that will impact the child's ability to regulate their emotion, pay attention and learn. Often older children are being forced to give up night sleep in exchange for more homework. However, as discussed earlier, when sleep is reduced by even 1 hour each night cognitive performance is reduced and the quality of the work produced will take longer and be of lower quality. Children at age 7 need at least 10 1/2 hours sleep, yet many children in Singapore getting 8 hours or less. The long term consequences for this loss of sleep are quite profound.
