Sleep-related disorders in children: A narrative review

Abstract

Sleep-related disorders in children can significantly impact children's physical, emotional, and cognitive development and constitute a major source of parental concern. This comprehensive review aims to describe sleep-related disorders commonly encountered in pediatric practice, their etiology, diagnosis, and management strategies. The review explores various disorders prevalent in different age groups, including insomnia, sleep apnea, parasomnias, and circadian rhythm disorders, highlighting the importance of early identification and intervention for optimal child health and well-being.
