Does My Child Need a Sleep Evaluation?

All parents know that sleep plays a critical role in their child’s behavior. If you’ve noticed your child seems irritable, depressed, is having difficulty concentrating, experiencing night terrors, or even snoring frequently, a sleep disorder might be to blame. If that seems far-fetched to you, it’s not. The American Academy of Pediatrics estimates that 25-50 percent of children and 40 percent of adolescents are affected by sleep problems.

Health Risks

Some sleep disturbances in children and teens are mild, fairly common and easy to treat. Others may be more persistent and can have negative effects on their long-term health. These can include increased risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes and high blood pressure, among others.
