A Clinical Guide to Pediatric Sleep: Diagnosis and Management of Sleep Problems synthesizes current information about the assessment and treatment of sleep disorders in children and adolescents and provides in an accessible format for busy clinicians. Chapters are organized by disorder and by presenting complaints so that pediatricians, family physicians and nurse practitioners can quickly find a diagnosis and its appropriate treatment options. The AASM has now published standards of clinical practice guidelines in three major areas in pediatric sleep medicine: bedtime problems/night wakings, circadian rhythm disorders, and narcolepsy. New standards of practice on respiratory and non-respiratory indications for overnight polysomnography (PSG) in children and revised standards for actigraphy, a commonly used sleep measure in children and adolescents, and treatment of restless legs syndrome and periodic limb movement disorders also will be included. Finally, the 3rd edition presents the AAPs new guidelines on diagnosis and management of obstructive sleep apnea and the AAPs policy statement on school start times and its relationship to sleep in adolescents.
