Behavioral Sleep Medicine
This program is currently at capacity and not accepting new patients. We are working hard to make changes, so we can meet our community's behavioral sleep medicine needs.
Problems sleeping can have a negative impact on a child’s health, mood and quality of life. A lack of sleep can also affect a child’s ability to pay attention, remember, learn, and control their emotions. Pediatric sleep psychologists are specialists trained to diagnose and treat a variety of sleep problems that are behaviorally or psychologically based.
Behavioral sleep medicine could help if your child has any of the following issues:
- Problems falling asleep, staying asleep or waking up too early.
- Difficulty sleeping in their own bed.
- Issues going to bed or staying in bed.
- Nighttime fears or anxiety.
- Nightmares or sleep terrors.
- Daytime sleepiness or difficulty waking.
- Challenges adjusting to or using positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy for sleep apnea.
- Sensitivities that may make it difficult to complete a needed sleep study.
