Influence of sleep disorders on the behavior of individuals with autism spectrum disorder
Open accessAbstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between sleep disorders and the behavior of subjects with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and control subjects using specific questionnaires. A small percentage (1.8%) of the control subjects had symptoms indicative of sleep-breathing disorders (SBD) and nocturnal sweating. Fifty-nine percent of the subjects with ASD had symptoms indicative of at least one sleep disorder, with SBD the most commonly reported (38%). In the control group, the symptoms of SBD were correlated with social, thought, attentional, aggression, externalizing and behavioral problems. In the ASD group, disorders of arousal (DA) were correlated with thinking problems, and disorders of excessive somnolence were correlated with thinking and behavioral problems. These results suggest that children and adolescents with ASD have a high frequency of sleep disorders, which in turn correlate with some of the behavioral traits that they already exhibit. Furthermore, sleep disturbances, when present in the typically developing children, also correlated with behavioral problems.

Sleep disorders have been correlated with daytime sleepiness, cognitive, attentional, behavioral, and emotional challenges, as well as poorer health-related quality of life for children with ASD.
“Sleep disorders have been correlated with daytime sleepiness, cognitive, attentional, behavioral, and emotional challenges, as well as poorer health-related quality of life for children with ASD [12, 13, 46].”
From Pharmacological treatment in autism: a proposal for guidelines on common co-occurring psychiatric symptoms (2025) · cites this paper as [46]
The Introduction links sleep problems with attention deficits, anxiety, depression, and behavioral difficulties. The Discussion and Conclusions report correlations between sleep disorders and thought or behavioral problems in the ASD group, and document excessive daytime sleepiness. The paper does not report a correlation with poorer health-related quality of life. (LLM, conf=0.87)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
