睡眠中心

Making sure that their child gets a “good night’s sleep” is a major concern for many parents. Our goal is to find the best solutions for your child’s sleep issues, monitor progress, and develop a treatment plan that works for you.

While some children with sleep problems do “outgrow” them as they mature, sleep related symptoms — like difficulty falling or staying asleep, daytime sleepiness, and snoring — can be persistent and troublesome. In some cases, they may even be signs of a serious sleep disorder.

Sleep problems are very common. About 25% of healthy kids under the age of 18 experience sleep difficulties, and 80% of teens do not get enough sleep. Sleep problems are even more widespread in children with medical, developmental, or mental health concerns.

在所有儿童中，可以通过仔细评估和制定个性化治疗计划来成功诊断和治疗睡眠问题。
