En Los Jóvenes Con TDAH, Mejor Patrón De Sueño, Mejores Resultados En El Colegio

CINCINNATI, OHIO (Ivanhoe Newswire) — ¿Que adolescente duerme lo suficiente? Pregunten esto a los padres que todas las mañanas tratan de extraer a sus hijos de la cama. Pero para los jovenes con trastorno por deficit de atencion con hiperactividad, o TDAH, conciliar el sueño puede ser aun mas dificil.

Desde que Emma Krabbe era pequeña, sus padres se dieron cuenta que, no importa lo que hicieran, a la niña le costaba conciliar el sueño. Este patron de falta de sueño duro varios años, llegando a veces Emma a sentirse somñolienta durante el dia, y con dificultad para concentrarse en las lecciones. Asimismo, fue diagnosticada con TDAH. El sicólogo clínico Stephen Becker, PhD, y sus colegas reclutaron a 300 estudiantes, la mitad con TDAH, la otra mitad sin este trastorno. Les pidieron que, durante dos semanas, valoraran su calidad de sueño y contaran cuántas horas dormían cada noche. Un veinte por ciento de los jóvenes con TDAH durmió menos de siete horas cada noche, comparado con un 10 por ciento del grupo sin TDAH. El estudio tambien determino que la falta de sueno estaba vinculada a notas mas bajas en examenes de matematicas al dia siguiente para todos los estudiantes, con o sin TDAH.

Becker indica que es importante que los padres animen a sus hijos a adoptar buenos habitos de sueño, comenzando con usar las camas solo para dormir, y recordandoles que deben de mantener una rutina y un horario constante. Para Emma, estos pasos estan dado resultado. Casi todas las noches duerme un sueño reparador. Asimismo, Becker indica que los maestros tambien tienen que mantenerse alerta, y si ven a un estudiante somnoliento deben hablar con los padres y sugerirles que consulten con el pediatra o algun especialista. Para recuperar esas horas de sueño y vivir un dia escolar productivo.

Los jovenes con TDAH tienen mas problemas completando las tareas escolares, asi que quizas estan desveladose tratando de finalizar las asignaciones, los padres deben de hablar tanto con los estudiantes como con los maestros, para encontrar una estrategia que no interfiera con el sueño.
