If you feel there's a correlation between sleep and behavior, have you tried taking him back to a pediatric sleep specialist? Or, an ENT?

As in my previous posts, I'm almost convinced there's a direct correlation between my son's
behavior and his sleep habits. Although, since he's been napping off and on again, his behavior has greatly improved. I too was worried that someone somewhere would lable him ADD and I know in my heart he is NOT! One would think he was on certain days (days with little sleep!).

I don't have much advice for you. I'm new to this issue as well. But, we have seen a pediatric sleep doc and sleep study is set in next 2 wks, so
we'll see! Maybe I'm wrong about all of this, but I don't think I am.

I wish you the best of luck! At least you've had a pediatrican who is willing to help you!
