Sleep Disorders
Sleep problems can occur at any age, but when they occur in toddlers, children or young adults, they can have a big impact on the entire family. Twenty percent of all children suffer from some type of sleeping problem, and the causes range from poor sleep habits, behavioral problems, to underlying medical conditions. Whatever the cause, the impact can be disruptive to children and their families. The Sleep Disorders Center
