[Sleep physiology and its relevance for the management of behavioral sleep disorders in children].
Sleep problems are among the most frequent behavioural issues during childhood. This article highlights some of the most important aspects of children's sleep physiology and presents a clinical approach for the management of behavioural sleep disorders in children. Our concept is based on developmental aspects of sleep physiology and also uses behavioural strategies for the parents and their child to handle maladaptive sleep behaviour.
