Experts in Children’s Sleep Disorders
Getting a good night’s rest affects every aspect of a child’s learning and development. If your child has sleeping issues, see the experts at Sanford Children’s Sleep Medicine.
Bring your child to a sleep specialist if you feel your child is getting too much or too little sleep. Signs of inadequate sleep include insomnia, fatigue, sleep talking or walking, attacks of physical weakness and other signs of being overly tired. An underlying sleep condition can cause snoring, hyperactivity, behavioral problems, inability to stay asleep, bedwetting, nightmares or night terrors, extreme fatigue during the day and more.
We treat young children to young adults. Our specialists will partner with you and your child to treat or manage your child’s sleep disorder. You’ll work with sleep specialists, nurses, primary care providers and specialists from across Sanford Health, depending on your child’s medical needs.

What Happens During a Sleep Study
你的孩子可能会接受一项睡眠研究，以确定孩子睡眠问题的潜在原因。这是一种非侵入性的夜间检查，可以为儿科医生提供有关孩子睡眠状况的宝贵信息。你的孩子将在桑福德健康的睡眠诊所过夜。2022世界杯巴西阵容传感器将监测您的孩子的行动和大脑活动整个晚上。我们的睡眠实验室很舒适，模拟的是卧室而不是病房，让我们的病人很容易入睡。
A few weeks after the study, your child’s doctor will go over the results with you and discuss a treatment plan.

Sleep tips from the experts:
- 不要让你的孩子在睡觉前使用电子产品，因为这会让他们更难入睡。
