Sleep is as important for growing children as nutrition and exercise. If your child is struggling with sleep problems, they may be at risk for behavioral / medical issues including lower school performance, focus and attention, mood issues and obesity or delayed growth. Getting them the care they need is crucial to set them on a path for success later in life.

Our Sleep Disorders Program at Children's Health℠ is accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine which recognizes our high standards of care to treat sleep disorders. You can be confident that your child will receive an accurate diagnosis and the best treatment possible to help resolve their sleep issues.

Sleep Medicine provides answers for sleep disorders

Sleep Medicine studies, diagnoses and provides treatment plans to address sleep disorders. If your child is having problems staying awake or sleeping fully, there are several symptoms to look for that indicate they might need an evaluation (sleep study) conducted in the sleep studies lab.

The Sleep Medicine team will read the data from the evaluation and determine how the factors work together and influence other systems. They will discuss the findings with your family and create a treatment plan that works for your child. This may include follow-up, a therapeutic device or additional appointments with a specialist – like a pulmonologist if there are underlying respiratory issues.

Our Sleep Studies Lab diagnoses and develops care for children with sleep issues and other multi-symptom disorders

Our experienced team knows that sleep issues can impact multiple bodily functions.

It can take a toll on their daily lives, and sometimes make their symptoms worse. We provide comprehensive care that addresses how sleep disorders can impact children with:
