Abstract:
Bronchial asthma in children attacks or exacerbates at night and/or in the early morning.Sleep disorders are common concomitant symptoms of nocturnal asthma, including prolonged sleep onset latency, frequent wake-ups at night, daytime sleepiness, and sleep-disordered breathing, especially in children with poor asthma control.Asthma and sleep apnea share similar risk factors, and the interaction of potential causes promotes the disease progression.When it comes to treating children with asthma, it is necessary to clear whether sleep apnea exists or not.Sleep hygiene management and the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea play an important role in the standardized treatment of childhood asthma, which could improve asthma control and the sleep quality, thereby enhancing the quality of life in children with asthma.
