Helping your child sleep better

Not getting a full night’s sleep is common among children, with studies showing that 25% of healthy kids under 18 experience difficulties, and sleep issues affect up to 80% of teens. For children with medical, developmental, or mental health conditions, sleep challenges are even more prevalent. Poor sleep can impact your child’s ability to concentrate, weaken their immune system, and, in some cases, lead to long-term lung, hormonal, or heart issues.

Our center includes a state-of-the-art sleep laboratory, behavioral and medical sleep clinics, and a specialized CPAP adherence program.
