Sleep wars: research and opinion.

摘要

This article discusses the controversies and often conflicting advice available to the general pediatric practitioner regarding sleep complaints in children and adolescents. Consideration is given to preferences, such as parent-child co-sleeping, cross-cultural issues in patient interviewing and treatment planning, and the public policy issue of adolescent sleepiness and later high school start times. The authors draw on evidence-based knowledge and clinical expertise to offer a framework for considering sleep-related chief complaints along with guidelines for routine practice.
