A study of 1,037 children by researchers at the University of London has found that sleep problems during childhood can affect mental performance during adolescence. Parents assessed their children's sleep problems at five, seven and nine and the children's mental abilities were tested at 13. Persistent sleep problems in childhood predicted poorer performance in the tests in early adolescence.
