Nocturnal Awakenings and Asthma Control in Urban School-Age Children.
June 30, 2026 · Clinical pediatrics
Key takeaway
If your child has asthma, they might wake up more during the night, especially if their asthma isn't well-controlled. This can be more common for Black and Latino children, showing we need better ways to manage asthma and help our children sleep soundly.
Why this matters for our communities
Research in respiratory helps close long-standing gaps in how Black and African American families are studied, diagnosed, and cared for. Use findings like this one to start informed conversations with your care team — not as a substitute for personal medical advice.
