Children and Sleep: Management, Health Effects and Gender
Differences begins by delineating the measurement tools currently
available to evaluate sleep problems in children and adolescents:
polysomnography, actigraphy, sleep diaries, and questionnaires.
Continuing, this collection unpacks the complexities of the most
common sleep disorders affecting children and adolescents by
discussing the child-specific features, etiology, common
comorbidities, and differential diagnostic considerations pertinent
for each disorder. The authors summarize the importance of a
healthy sleep cycle in normal brain development during childhood
and the effects of sleep disturbances on normal brain function and
brain structure. Additionally, possible associations between sleep
disturbances in children and emotional/behavioral problems are
addressed, based on a suggestion that these symptoms are not the
emerging manifestations of an underlying disorder but rather are a
network of symptoms that are causally interrelated. In closing, the
authors highlight the importance of identifying the causes of mouth
breathing and obstructive sleep apnea in children. If left
untreated, such breathing disorders can progress to more severe
conditions in adulthood. (Imprint: Nova Medicine and Health)
