Sleep issues can affect anyone, regardless of age. However, when they occur in toddlers, children, or young adults, they can disrupt the entire family. Approximately 20% of all children face some form of sleep problem, which can stem from various factors, including poor sleep habits, behavioral issues, or underlying medical conditions. These challenges, whether medical or behavioral, have a significant impact on children and their families, affecting their overall well-being and daily routines.

Our Pediatric Sleep Medicine specialists at Children’s Colorado Sleep Center are dedicated to diagnosing and treating a wide range of medical sleep conditions that affect children and adolescents. These conditions include insomnia, apparent-life-threatening-events (ALTE), chronic lung disease, circadian rhythm disorders, narcolepsy, restless legs syndrome, sleep disordered breathing, and many others. We understand the unique challenges that each condition presents and work closely with families to provide effective solutions.

In addition to medical sleep issues, we also focus on addressing behavioral sleep conditions that can disrupt a child's sleep pattern. These include bedtime resistance, early morning waking, nightmares, night terrors, sleepwalking, and more. Our team specializes in creating tailored strategies to manage these behavioral challenges, ensuring that children can establish healthy sleep habits.

We offer thorough evaluation and personalized treatment plans for various sleep disorders. Our experts carefully assess your child's sleep patterns, taking into account both medical and behavioral factors to provide the most effective solutions.

We analyze your child’s sleep log or diary spanning one or two weeks to gain valuable insights into their sleep habits. This information aids in accurate diagnosis and customized treatment planning.

When necessary, we conduct overnight sleep studies and other specialized tests to delve deeper into your child’s sleep problems. These tests provide detailed data, enabling us to tailor treatment precisely to their needs.

We maintain open communication with your child’s primary care provider and specialists, ensuring a cohesive approach to diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, we offer extensive support and education to parents, empowering them to actively manage their child’s sleep issues.
