Psychology and Pharmacology of Pediatric Sleep

Pediatric sleep psychology and pharmacology explore how children's minds and body processes affect sleep, and how medications can help. Psychology looks at behaviors, fears, or anxiety that interfere with sleep and finds ways to improve routines and coping skills. Pharmacology examines medications that may assist children with sleep difficulties, considering safety and effectiveness. Combining these approaches helps address underlying issues and promote healthy sleep patterns, which are essential for growth, learning, and emotional health. Overall, this field aims to understand and support children's sleep in a safe, effective, and individualized manner.
