Images of Sleep Apnea.
The cover is based on a brain MRI scan of a child with obstructive sleep apnea, which most commonly occurs when children are very overweight. The related research article by Halbower et al. suggests that children with obstructive sleep apnea may also have changes in their brain metabolism, which could make them more likely to have learning difficulties.
