adamant and avoid sleep

whether down syndrome people are adamant in their behavior? do they have a tendency to remain awake during night time?

[Dr. Kokil Mathur]

Hi!
Yes, sleep problems are common in individuals with Down’s Syndrome and can range from insomnia to sleep apnea. They can even walk in sleep, cause bed wetting, have restless leg syndrome and several other such problems. Pushing these individuals too hard for something can make them adamant. So, if someone you know has sleep associated problems, it is best to consult his doctor and a sleep specialist immediately. Take care!
