Abstract
The aim of the present work is to summarize recent advances in the field of clinical paediatric
sleep medicine and to give tools for clinical assessment and treatment of paediatric
insomnia. Bedtime problems and night awakenings are common cause of paediatric
consultation and have an impact on quality of life of both child and family. Epidemiology,
pathophysiology, clinical evaluation, sequelae, and treatment are described. Clinical
tools for assessment and behavioural and pharmacological treatment are presented.
