Abstract
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. Other significant correlates suggested the effect of social anxiety which may be age-appropriate.Keywords
