Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion Sleep Deprivation and Issues

I wasn't sure whether or not to put this question here or in the research forum.

Does anyone know if a study has been done on a correlation between a gifted child's lack of sleep and a diagnosis of ADD, ADHD, ODD, etc?

I hear about "pleasantly gifted" on here. I assume that means a child without these issues. Are those children getting the full "recommended" amount of sleep?

In other words, does typical grouchiness from a long-term lack of sleep manifest itself in gifted children as one of those issues?

I'm wondering if the brains of those particular gifted children react to sleep deprivation in this manner.

I'm just curious.
