Pediatric Sleep Medicine
Pediatric Sleep Medicine is a specialized field that focuses on the sleep-related issues and disorders affecting children, from infants to adolescents. It involves diagnosing and treating conditions like sleep apnea, insomnia, night terrors, and excessive daytime sleepiness. Pediatric sleep specialists work closely with families to understand a child's sleep patterns and behaviors, providing tailored interventions to improve their sleep. This is crucial for a child's overall health, development, and well-being since quality sleep supports growth, learning, and emotional regulation. The goal is to help children achieve restful sleep for a healthier, happier life.
