This study tested the clinical assumption that sleep problems reflect underlying emotional concerns. The hypothesis that worry-correlates of disturbed sleep for learning disabled adolescents would be related to their disability was borne out by findings of sleep problems associated with concerns about intellectual and academic adequacy.
