title: Sleep disorders in children and teens. Helping patients and their families get some rest.
abstract: Diagnosing sleep disorders in children and adolescents is challenging and rewarding and requires integration of medical, neurodevelopmental, and behavioral histories. Most patients can be successfully treated once a thorough evaluation has been completed and age-appropriate differential diagnosis of common sleep disorders has been considered. With appropriate knowledge and tools, physicians may find that pediatric sleep disorders are some of the most treatable problems in medicine.
