Brief Summary:
This study will explore the relationship between sleep learning cognition mood and behaviour in children with Tic Disorders Tourette Syndrome and Chronic Tic Disorder compared to typically developing peers
Detailed Description:
This project explores the relationship between sleep and learning in childhood with tic disorders such as Tourette syndrome TS and chronic tic disorders CTD
TSCTD are movement disorders characterized by repetitive involuntary movements andor vocalizations called tics Sleep related problems are commonly reported for children with TSCTD and may include problems getting to sleep waking up frequently during the night early wakening and tic-related movements in sleep For typically developing children sleep disturbances have been linked to problems with mood behaviour and learning To date the relationship between sleep and learning has not been explored for children with TSCTD
The aim of this project is to investigate whether there is a relationship between sleep efficiency and learning in boys with and without TSCTD aged 11-14 years
Sleep efficiency will be measured using a small actigraphy watch which will collect information about movements during sleep night time waking and light exposure Children will be required to wear the watch for 14 days and nights Before one night of sleep and again the next morning children will be asked to complete some tasks on an iPad Air to assess learning These include 1 popping balloons with faces on them according to specific rules eg boys faces happy faces 2 learning novel animal names 3 navigating a 3D maze Children will also be administered some standard tests to look at level of intellectual functioning memory and other thinking skills that may contribute to performance on the computerized tasks Additionally children and their parents will be asked to complete questionnaires to assess tics quality of life mood and behaviour The findings of this study will help improve understanding of sleep problems for children with tic disorders to aid the development of specific interventions for this group
