Pediatric and Adolescent Sleep Disorders
|
Pediatric sleep disorders are very common. In fact, all of the sleep disorders that affect adults have a pediatric counterpart. The most common problems are of the sleep/wake schedule (difficulty falling or staying asleep or inability to sleep at desired times). Infants and children also suffer from sleep apnea.
Narcolepsy typically begins in adolescence and may affect younger children. Unusual motor behavior during sleep may result from sleep terrors, sleepwalking or nocturnal seizures.
