The Miller Children’s Hospital Sleep Disorder Center opened in March 2006 and provides clinical service, sleep evaluations and treatment for children from birth through adolescence. The facility’s specially trained staff diagnose and treat children with behavioral, respiratory and non-respiratory sleep disorders.

Sleep disorders are very common in children, and they are often underdiagnosed. In fact, approximately 69 percent of children 10 and under experience some type of sleep problem, according to the National Sleep Foundation. The Miller Children’s Hospital Sleep Disorder Center can help parents by answering their questions about sleep problems. Many children who visit the sleep center will require only behavioral intervention. Others may need further evaluation in the sleep laboratory to diagnose and treat their symptoms.

If you are concerned about any of these disorders in your child and have been unsuccessful in trying to remedy them on your own, we can help by conducting a sleep evaluation.

The most common sleep disorders in children include:

• Behavioral sleep disorders, including sleep-onset association disorders and problems with limit-setting
• Rhythm disorders, including delayed sleep phase syndrome
• Sleep apnea
• Narcolepsy
• Parasomnia, including night terrors, sleepwalking, or bedwetting
