Use of Ball Blanket in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder sleeping problems
Hvolby, A.; Bilenberg, N.: Use of Ball Blanket in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder sleeping problems. I: Nordic Journal of Psychiatry, 2010.Language: EngelskSummary: This study will evaluate the effect of Ball Blanket on sleep for a sample of 813-year-old children with ADHD. Design: Casecontrol study. 21 children aged 813 years with a diagnosis of ADHD and 21 healthy control subjects. Intervention: Sleep was monitored by parent-completed sleep diaries and 28 nights of actigraphy. For 14 of those days, the child slept with a Ball Blanket. Conclusions: The results of this study show that the use of Ball Blankets is a relevant and effective treatment method with regard to minimizing sleep onset latency. We find that the use of Ball Blankets for 14-days improves the time it takes to fall asleep, individual day-to-day variation and the number of awakenings to a level that compares with those found in the healthy control group. Furthermore, we find that the use of Ball Blankets significantly reduces the number of nights that the ADHD child spends more than 30 min falling asleep from 19% to 0%.
