Abstract

Sleep is an essential task of human development with meaningful implications for children and adolescents. Adequate sleep duration varies by age and is connected to enhanced cognitive development, emotional control, attention, behavioral regulation, learning, memory, diet, and quality of life. Poor sleep in children and adolescents may result from several factors: obstructive sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome, periodic limb movement disorder, frequent night wakings, bedtime problems, deficient sleep, delayed sleep phase disorder, parasomnias, and poor sleep hygiene. Adequate sleep duration has been associated with a number of positive health outcomes while inadequate total sleep has been correlated with several health risks. Conditions that have a bidirectional relationship with poor sleep include obesity, concussions, asthma, pain, unintentional injuries, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Sleep assessment provides meaningful information to inform intervention and service delivery for medical and behavioral health providers. To assess sleep difficulties among youth, a multi-dimensional approach is commonly used. Further, due to the multifaceted aspect of sleep, simultaneously assessing multiple domains can be time-saving and reduce the likelihood of misdiagnosis. A brief review of multi-dimensional questionnaires and sleep diaries is provided in the chapter. This chapter also provides an overview of common behavioral sleep interventions to improve sleep practices of children and adolescents.
