Sleep Disorders in Children

Toddlers to adolescents can suffer from apnea, insomnia and parasomnias. Parasomnias are unusual behaviors during sleep such as sleepwalking, bed-wetting and night terrors. Symptoms of childhood sleep disorders can be entirely different from adults. In children, apnea can cause daytime hyperactivity, school difficulties, irritability and even failure to grow physically. Sleep problems in children can be solved with simple behavioral interventions without medications or surgery
