Check out this episode of Dana Obleman’s Sleep Sense Podcast where Dr. Mary discusses common pediatric sleep issues including:
- infant nighttime waking–often related to “sleep associations” parents inadvertently create
- night terrors–a sleep disturbance during non-REM sleep; child “wakes” (but not fully) upset & inconsolable, with no recollection the next day; common for preschoolers
- bedwetting–affects up to 10% of school-aged kids; many useful strategies exist
- delayed sleep phase syndrome–difficulty falling asleep (even when tired) until after 12am; common in teenage years
