00:00Hey, Froggy, do your kids snore?
00:04My little guy snores sometimes, but nothing terrible.
00:09Professor, do your kids snore?
00:10Oh, yeah, my kid's a freight train.
00:11Which one?
00:12The little one.
00:13Yeah, Hudson.
00:14Hudson.
00:14Little Huddy.
00:17Roxanne?
00:18No, my kids don't snore.
00:19I know because they're in bed with me, so.
00:22Oh, God.
00:22No wonder why you're so tired.
00:24I know.
00:27Calling Michelle quickly.
00:28You know, I don't know if Julian and Chloe snore.
00:34I think Michelle probably is better to answer this question than me.
00:39Well, if it's hereditary from her, they both do.
00:43I don't know if she's.
00:46She could be snoring herself right now.
00:50That was me.
00:52That's the voicemail of my house.
00:56Very weird.
00:57Yeah.
00:58That's the voicemail.
01:01I thought it was Michelle.
01:01No, that's my landline.
01:03I was calling the landline.
01:05So, I don't know.
01:05I don't know if she's available now or whatever, but maybe she's got the dogs outside.
01:10You know, I don't think my kids snore.
01:12The reason why I'm bringing this, blah, blah.
01:14You like that?
01:14It's good.
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.
03:00So you're messing up your matter, dude.
03:03What's the matter with you?
03:04Yeah, it does matter.
03:06And what do you do if they're snoring?
03:07This story matters.
03:08Yes, it does.
03:09Put a pillow over their head.
03:11Put a pillow over their head.
03:12What the hell are you talking about?
03:14Mm-hmm.
