Abstract

Purpose of review: Sleep complaints are exceedingly common in children and are associated with cognitive and psychosocial impairment. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) accounts for only a small percentage of pediatric sleep problems. A comprehensive understanding of nonbreathing-related sleep disorders in pediatric patients is, therefore, needed to adequately assess and treat pediatric patients presenting with sleep concerns.

Recent findings: The review below summarizes the most common non-OSA sleep disorders in pediatric patients, focusing on comprehensive evaluation and evidence-based treatment recommendations. We also describe and review the literature on the newest pediatric sleep disorder, restless sleep disorder (RSD).

Summary: Pediatric otolaryngologists should be equipped to take a concise yet thorough sleep history, identify features of non-OSA sleep disorders, counsel patients and families regarding key sleep hygiene measures, and appropriately refer patients with suspected non-OSA sleep disorders such as circadian rhythm disorders, parasomnias, and/or narcolepsy for additional sleep medicine evaluation, testing and/or treatment whenever indicated.
