Pediatric Sleep Medicine Program

Sleep is a critical part of a child’s good health. Disorders related to sleep place children at high risk for physical, developmental and behavioral health problems. Valley Children’s Sleep Medicine Program provides expert diagnosis and management for all forms of pediatric sleep disorders.

Children can experience difficulty with sleep at any age, and a sleep disorder often develops as part of other medical conditions. To address this, Valley Children’s Sleep Medicine Program uses a multidisciplinary approach to achieve the highest quality care so children experience the best possible sleep.

Sleep Study Expertise

During sleep study, or polysomnogram (PSG), a child’s breathing, movement, heart function and brain are monitored as they sleep. Sleep studies are helpful tools that help sleep specialists diagnose sleep-related disorders, including sleep apnea.
