    Sleep disorders are a common affliction in the school-age population. In recent years, 50% of children suffer from sleep problems. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is a condition frequently experienced in the pediatric age group, with 1% to 5% of children suffering from it, often associated with overweight and obesity. This research will use the hypothetical-deductive method to test the truth or falsehood of the proposed hypotheses. The population will consist of 130 schoolchildren of both genders between 6 to 12 years of age from a school in the city of Bagua, Amazonas. The instruments used will be the Tucson Children’s Assessment of Sleep Apnea (TuCASA) questionnaire to examine sleep-related respiratory disorders and the body mass index (BMI) to diagnose overweight and obesity in children, both of which are nationally and internationally validated.
