Hi Courtney. 1) I am not sure I understood your first question. My clients observe their sleep habits and try to relate them to stuttering (if it becomes worse or better). But the conclusions are not published anywhere. 2) As a general rule, when the client has sleep deprivation or a sleep disorder, his/her speech improved when sleep problems were solved or at least reduced. Some clients did not observe any improvement but this was rare. Sandra
