Possible sleep apnea ?

2018-12-28 16:43:41
My son, 7 years old with Downs Syndrome often sits up in his sleep. This does not happen during his daytime nap. But every night, and especially in winters, he would often change his sleeping position to sitting. Or he would rest his head on my legs. We make sure he is fully covered with warm clothes so now I am suspecting its not the cold but possible case of sleep apnea ?
