At one time or another, most parents have coped with a child who refuses to sleep. Eventually, most children will outgrow their resistance to nap or go to bed at night. However, there are a number of more serious sleep-related disturbances, including obstructive sleep apnea (a condition characterized by loud snoring and sometimes pauses in breathing), parasomnias (unusual sleep behaviors such as sleepwalking and night terrors), and excessive daytime sleepiness, for which help is available. The Pediatric Sleep Disorders Center at NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital provides the diagnosis, management, and treatment of sleep disorders in newborns, children and adolescents.
Sleep specialists take a focused and multidisciplinary approach to helping children with sleep disturbances. The Pediatric Sleep Disorders Center calls on a team of pediatric pulmonologists, a nurse practitioner, behavioral therapists, and nutritionists to evaluate and treat children with all types of sleep disorders. Pediatric specialists in neurology, endocrinology, cardiology, psychiatry, otolaryngology, oral and maxillofacial surgery, bariatric surgery, and cardiology are also consulted as needed.
Importance of Early InterventionSleep disorders can affect a child's mood, memory, concentration, and academic performance. Parents should talk to their child's doctor about any ongoing sleep problems. Early diagnosis and treatment will promote their child's long-term health and well-being.
