Children's sleep disorders can manifest themselves very differently from those of adults. Bedtime problems, excessive daytime sleepiness, difficulty paying attention at school, nighttime awakenings, and strange breathing sounds while sleeping may all be signs of sleep disorders in children. If you suspect that your child has a sleep disorder, please consult your pediatrician or a sleep specialist.
When accompanying your child to their sleep study, please remember the following helpful advice.
What to bring to your child's sleep study
Any special blanket, toy, or stuffed animal that you feel will help them to feel more at home.
A favorite book or movie DVD for them to enjoy during the hookup process.
Pajamas or comfortable shorts and tee shirt for them to sleep in. (Please no one-piece "footie" or jumpsuit-style pajamas)
The child’s insurance information and any medications that they normally take before bed.
Extra diapers and wipes if your child is not yet potty-trained.
Any personal items, such as toothpaste and toothbrush.
All patients under the age of 18 must have a parent
or guardian stay overnight at the sleep lab.
