Morpheus:

Bed wetting is more than twice as common in those with ADD/HD than in the general population.

Removal of tonsils has been reporated to eliminate bed wetting in 75% in one paper.

Removal of tonsils is one treatment for sleep apnea.

Bedwetting is a good predictor for suicide in young males and for accidental death in older men. (Depression and sleepiness?)

Make what you will of it.
