    Excerpt

    Child and adolescent mental health care clinicians are on the front line of recognizing sleep disorders in children and adolescents, given that so many children assessed by clinicians have sleep symptoms. These sleep problems may represent sleep issues associated with a psychiatric condition such as depression or anxiety or other sleep disorder such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), restless legs syndrome, or narcolepsy. Mental health care professionals must keep sleep disorders in mind when assessing children with neurocognitive, emotional, behavioral, and motivational problems because chronic sleep disruption can cause these difficulties.
