Hi Sandra, I found your article very enlightening! I have always understood that sleep was crucial, and had heard that it could have an effect on a PWS, but I had not realized how extensive the effects could be. I am curious to know if you have seen any relation between sleep deprivation and the onset of neurogenic stuttering. Do you think an adult with insomnia, versus an adult with no sleep deprivations, could develop or acquire stuttering more easily after a neurologic disturbance?
