-- Little Sleepy Head is pleased to announce that toddler and youth pillows may one day be a part of an overall ADHD symptom reducing lifestyle due to the improved rest quality they promote.
The results of a recent study published in the Pediatrics journal suggest that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may in fact be a form of sleep disorder. ADHD diagnoses are continually climbing among children in the United States. This disorder causes children to struggle to focus, to control impulsive behaviors and to manage excessively high energy levels.
For years, researchers, parents, teachers and other childhood experts have been suggesting that ADHD symptoms could be the result of poor sleep quality. Studies have been showing that kids with this condition have a reduced length, timing and quality of sleep compared with their non-ADHD peers.
Now, research presented at the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology Conference held in Paris, examined circadian rhythms of subjects with and without ADHD. They determined that melatonin levels in subjects with ADHD started to rise an average of 1.5 hours later than they did in subjects without ADHD. Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone responsible for a person’s circadian rhythm – that is, the natural sleeping and waking clock.
Due to the delayed rise in melatonin, subjects with ADHD fell asleep later than their non-ADHD counterparts and obtained less rest overall.
Little Sleepy Head products, such as the toddler pillows, youth pillows and lines of pillowcases to fit those two sizes of kids’ pillows, are designed to help kids to rest more effectively at night and during naptimes. The pillows and pillowcases are both hypoallergenic while being snuggly soft. The pillows have the perfect amount of fill for cradling the head and neck during sleep. This additional comfort and support helps to ensure a better rest at night.
Little Sleepy Head takes great care to create products that suit healthy sleep hygiene, including a consistent and calming bedtime routine and a comfortable rest overall.
