title: Disorders of arousal in children.
abstract: Disorders of arousal from NREM sleep are common events in childhood. Although they are considered to be benign in most cases, recurrent events may be associated with other primary sleep disorders or psychiatric comorbidities. It is important to ensure that the child achieves adequate sleep and receives treatment for primary sleep disorders. If the events are particularly disruptive or frequent, both behavioral and pharmacologic treatments are available.
