CONFERENCE ABSTRACT
Pediatric Insomnia: recognition and management
Sleep complaints in children with insomnia may include difficulties initiating sleep or difficulties maintaining sleep. In young children, these symptoms are often the result of inadequate limit settings or inappropriate sleep associations. Older children can also have insomnia symptoms associated with medical, psychiatric or sleep disorders. This lecture will review the diagnostic criteria of insomnia in children, the factors that contribute to insomnia, and the most common therapeutic options.
