title: Applying classifications of sleep disorders to children with neurologic conditions.
abstract: Information concerning sleep ontogeny and sleep disorders in children is required by many pediatric specialists. Pediatric neurologists, for instance, frequently are called upon to assist in the evaluation of children with undiagnosed symptoms and signs during sleep, as well as to care for children and adolescents with specific neurologic diseases who also experience sleep disturbances. This review discusses pediatric sleep disturbances with specific reference to sleep in children with neurologic conditions.
