Sleep disorders

Poor sleep can often lead to problems with behavior, relationships and focus, so our priority is making sure every child that walks through our doors is able to have a healthy, regular sleep schedule.

While some issues may require medical intervention, your child’s sleep problem may be solved by lifestyle changes, such as establishing a bedtime routine. Often, sleep problems are a symptom of another condition. In that case, our pediatric sleep specialists will collaborate with you to be sure your child gets the best treatment to improve sleep and return them to good health.

If necessary, a sleep treatment, such as a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine, is available. A CPAP machine treats obstructive sleep apnea in children, a common, but serious, sleep disorder. The machine delivers air into a mask that is placed over your child’s nose, and the continuous pressure keeps the airway open.

We understand that it can be concerning when your child is having trouble falling asleep or waking up tired. We want to assure you that we are here to help. In a relaxed, child-friendly setting, we begin your child's first consultation with a full medical evaluation, taking into account your child's physical, psychological, and social histories. We work closely with your child's primary care doctor to ensure the best possible care, from diagnosis to treatment and follow-up.

Our diligent sleep specialists work tirelessly to properly diagnose every child, so you can rest easy knowing that your child can do the same. Testing is essential in diagnosing sleep disorders in children and understanding underlying problems that may affect sleep, so perform a wide range of non-invasive, pain-free tests.
