Pediatric sleep specialists estimate that 20-25% of all children and adolescents have a correctable sleep disorder occurring some time between 2 - 18 years of age. Approximately 15% of all teens and children's sleep disorders will not disappear without some type of medical treatment or behavioral interventions. Many of these sleep disorders in children and teens need to be corrected as soon as possible, because they impair students' school performance and behavioral and emotional self-control. As people reach adulthood, many of these sleep disorders become more severe and do more harm to health, daytime performance, and safety.
