Sleep disturbances among children and adolescents are common. Left untreated, sleep problems can result in significant emotional, behavioral, and cognitive impairment and can put youth at risk for poor school performance, accidents, and social or medical problems. Today's newsletter focuses on the treatment of sleep problems in young people.
