Bedwetting can be a sign of sleep-disordered breathing in children. Children with sleep-disordered breathing often experience repeated awakenings and difficulty breathing during sleep, leading to increased arousal from deep sleep. This increased arousal can interfere with the normal bladder control mechanisms, leading to bedwetting.
Additionally, sleep-disordered breathing can also cause decreased production of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which regulates urine production during sleep, further contributing to bedwetting. Proper diagnosis and treatment of sleep-disordered breathing can help to reduce the risk of bedwetting and improve overall sleep quality.
