Boys were more likely than girls to have NS (p<0.0001). Children with NS were more likely to have sleep-related symptoms and respiratory and atopic diseases. In addition, they were more likely to be hyperactive and have frequent temper outbursts. Using an ordinal regression model, NS was found to be significantly associated with male gender, younger age, allergic rhinitis, tonsillitis and symptoms suggestive of obstructive sleep apnoea, insomnia and parasomnia.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n NS is prevalent among school-aged children and is associated with the presence of sleep-related symptoms and
