Approximately 25 percent of children will experience some type of sleep problem during childhood. Sleep disorders can have serious consequences for kids, ranging from learning and behavior issues to cardiovascular problems.

Our Sleep Disorders Clinic specializes in the evaluation and treatment of sleep disorders in infants, children and adolescents. Our goal is to optimize the quality of our patients' sleep to help them reach their personal potential, and to minimize the stress of sleep deprivation and sleep-disordered breathing on their bodies.

The conditions we treat include:

• Circadian rhythm disorders such as delayed or advanced sleep phase syndrome (falling asleep and waking up very late or very early)
• Insomnia
• Narcolepsy
• Nocturnal hypoventilation (breathing that's too shallow or slow) related to neuromuscular weakness
• Obstructive sleep apnea
• Parasomnias, such as night terrors and sleep walking
• Restless legs syndrome and periodic limb movement disorder
