Sleep is essential for healthy brain development, learning, behaviour and overall wellbeing. Persistent sleep problems in children may be related to breathing disorders, neurological conditions, behavioural factors or other medical causes. The Paediatric Neurology team evaluates children with significant sleep disturbances and coordinates further assessment when required.
Children may require evaluation for symptoms such as excessive daytime sleepiness, frequent night awakenings, unusual movements during sleep, snoring, breathing pauses or abnormal sleep-related behaviours. A detailed clinical history helps determine whether additional investigations are necessary.
A sleep study records selected physiological parameters while the child sleeps and can help assess certain sleep-related breathing disorders and other sleep abnormalities. The findings are interpreted together with the child's symptoms and medical history to guide further treatment.
