A Pediatric Sleep Specialist is a medical professional who focuses on diagnosing and treating sleep disorders in children. These specialists often have training in fields such as pediatrics or pulmonology and understand the unique sleep needs of infants, children, and adolescents. They assess issues like insomnia, sleep apnea, and night terrors to help improve a child's sleep quality. These specialists use various methods, including sleep studies and behavioral assessments, to create tailored treatment plans. They may recommend lifestyle changes, therapy, or, in some cases, medication to address sleep problems. Their goal is to ensure that children achieve healthy sleep patterns for overall well-being.
