2. NATIONAL

Sleep Apnea: Is Your Patient At Risk?

options, including behavioral approaches, and management considerations.

3. AMERICAN FAMILY PHYSICIAN
Recognizing Problem Sleepiness in Your Patients
Problem sleepiness occurs when patients don't get enough sleep because of primary sleep disorders (such as obstructive sleep apnea, insomnia, restless legs syndrome or
narcolepsy), other medical conditions (such as chronic bronchitis or congestive heart
failure) or lifestyle factors (such as shift work).

4. AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS
Common Sleep Problems
Sleep problems are very common among children during the first few years of life.
Problems may include a reluctance to go to sleep, waking up in the middle of the night, nightmares, and sleepwalking. In older children, bed-wetting can also become a
challenge.
5. AMERICAN ACADEMY OF SLEEP MEDICINE
Practice Parameters for the Indications for Polysomnography and Related Procedures
The objective of the guideline is to present evidence-based recommendations, based on peer-reviewed literature, for the use of polysomnography (and, in some cases, related sleep medicine procedures such as cardiorespiratory sleep studies and multiple sleep latency and maintenance of wakefulness tests) for the diagnosis of common sleep disorders.

Nightmare Remedies: Helping Your Child Tame the Demons of the Night
Most nightmares are a normal part of coping with changes in our lives. They are not necessarily a sign of pathology and may even be a positive indication that we are actively coping with a new challenge. For children, this could occur in response to such events as entering school, moving to a new neighborhood or living through a divorce or remarriage.

7. DEPRESSION HELP
Putting Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to Work for You
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy used to treat depression, anxiety disorders and other problems such as anger, fears, procrastination as well as improve confidence and relationships.
