Sleep is an important part of a child’s health. As they grow, children require different amounts of sleep. Over a lifetime, each of us will spend about 1/3 of our lives sleeping!  

Sleep problems are quite common in childhood and may affect behavior as well as academic performance. They include trouble getting to sleep, nightmares, sleep apnea, and many others. 

We were inspired to create this site after receiving many questions from parents regarding their child’s sleep health. With this website, we strive to

 
     
 
 
  • Answer patients’ and parents’ questions
  • Show links to helpful websites
  • Provide quality information for patient education and medical education
  • Enhance communication through the sections of FAQs and clinic/online surveys
  • Make local children’s sleep disorder centers available to parents and primary physicians
