- Treating kids' behavior problems might have the additional benefit of reducing their risk of insomnia as adults, a recent study suggests.

"The link between childhood behavior and adulthood insomnia could be partly explained by childhood sleep problems," said Yohannes Adama Melaku, lead author of the study and a researcher at the Adelaide Institute for Sleep Health at Flinders University in Australia. During childhood, about 25per cent of kids at age 5 and about 16per cent of older children had parent-reported sleep difficulties.

"Understanding how childhood behavioral challenges could cause adult sleep disturbance really depends on the reasons underlying these challenges," said Kelly Sullivan, a researcher at Georgia Southern University who wasn't involved in the study.
