01:16I mean, what kind of message do I need to leave?
01:17I'm going to steal it.
01:18Change your mind today.
01:19It's a.
01:19Well, if your kid snores, it could be a warning sign.
01:27Regular snoring.
01:28Children who snore on a regular basis show signs of structural changes in their brain that may lead to behavioral trouble,
01:39such as lack of focus, hyperactivity, and cognitive challenges, which could be harmful to their learning and their educational abilities.
01:52Yeah, new study, and this is not, you know, this is the journal Nature Communications.
01:57This is a real medical journal.
01:59They observed for the first time that children who snore three or more times a week had thinner gray matter in their brain compared to kids getting normal sleep.
02:09What?
02:09And poor sleep's been shown to reduce the gray matter in areas in the brain and the areas of the brain that are most densely packed with neurons.
02:18You know, researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, they looked at MRI images of more than 10,000 children, 9 to 10 years old,
02:27who were enrolled in the National Institute of Health's Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study.
02:34And snoring kids apparently have the issues that I described.
02:39I snored as a kid.
02:41And look at me.
02:42You look at you.
02:43Oh.
02:44So does the gray matter, do they have problems with that because they're snoring, or it's like that, and that's why they're snoring?
02:51It's the snoring that causes the gray matter issues, apparently.
02:54Okay.
02:55So just a heads up, if your kid is snoring, that could be, you know, a learning issue.
