Abstract
Over the past two decades, there has been heightened interest and awareness of the impact that sleep has on children's development, learning, mood, and behavior. Clinical services for pediatric sleep disorders are increasingly available and there has been a proliferation of research related to sleep disturbances in children. This article was designed to provide a broad overview of common sleep problems and their treatments in youth. Pediatric sleep medicine is a rapidly developing field with abundant opportunities for expanding our scientific understanding of sleep disorders and creating novel interventions for children and adolescents with disturbed sleep.
