Summary

This study aims to learn how sleep changes as children's brains grow, by collecting sleep and development data from healthy children and those with conditions like autism or ADHD. About 244 children ages 6 months to 8 years will have overnight sleep studies, developmental tests, and medical exams. The goal is to create a database to better understand sleep's role in brain maturation.
