Adequate sleep is associated with good health and performance, as well as fewer accidents -- an even more critical issue when children reach adolescence and need to be aware of the dangers of drowsy driving.
We hope these results will convince more physicians and parents as well, that treating children with mild to moderate asthma with inhaled corticosteroids will result in better asthma control and improved quality of life.
