Stories like this are correlated with people muttering about "correlation is not causation". It's a cause for concern.

Difference between correlation and causation is if its correlation then putting these kids to sleep by say a drug in order to fix their sleeping patterns won't do squat in fixing their core problem which may be the actual cause of both the sleeping problems and future mental issues apologies for the run on sentence.

apologies for the run on sentence.

You know, I don't think it was a run-on sentence until you added that last part :).

I can't remember what author it was, but I'm sure it was Charles Dickens (but it's too early in the morning for me to be sure of anything), that made an entire page a single sentence to mock people who had complained about his long 'run-on' sentences. IIRC the page-long sentence wasn't a run-on sentence.
