Common Pediatric Sleep Disorders We Treat

Children, teens, and young adults can experience a variety of sleep-related problems that impact their health, behavior, and school performance. Dr. Matorin’s pediatric sleep center offers comprehensive diagnostic and treatment options for the following sleep disorders:

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): OSA occurs when the airway becomes partially or completely blocked during sleep. In children, this can lead to snoring, restless sleep, and difficulty staying awake during the day. Untreated OSA can affect cognitive development and behavior.
Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) & Periodic Limb Movement Disorder (PLMD): RLS causes an irresistible urge to move the legs, often disrupting sleep. PLMD involves involuntary leg movements during sleep, which can prevent a child from getting restorative sleep.
Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB): This includes any condition that causes abnormal breathing patterns during sleep. If your child is constantly tired, snores loudly, or struggles to stay asleep, SDB may be the cause.
Insomnia & Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome: Some children struggle to fall asleep at a reasonable time or stay asleep throughout the night. This can lead to chronic sleep deprivation, which affects school performance and overall well-being.
Daytime Sleepiness & Narcolepsy: If your child feels excessively sleepy during the day despite getting adequate sleep at night, they may be suffering from a condition like narcolepsy. This can also result in frequent napping or difficulty staying awake in school.

Sleep Studies & Diagnostic Services

At Dr. Matorin’s sleep clinic, we use advanced diagnostic tools to evaluate your child’s sleep patterns. Our team offers overnight sleep studies (polysomnograms) in a child-friendly environment to assess conditions like sleep apnea, RLS, and periodic limb movement disorder.

Sleep Studies (Polysomnography): Sleep studies help us monitor your child’s brain waves, heart rate, breathing, and movement during sleep. This comprehensive test is essential for diagnosing sleep disorders like OSA and CSA (Central Sleep Apnea)..
CPAP & BIPAP Titration: For children diagnosed with obstructive or central sleep apnea, we offer CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) and BIPAP (Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure) titration studies. These tests help determine the correct pressure settings to ensure optimal treatment outcomes.
Home Sleep Testing: For children who may feel anxious about overnight testing, we offer at-home sleep study options in select cases. This allows us to gather valuable data while your child sleeps in the comfort of their own bed.

We focus on providing effective, long-term solutions for pediatric sleep disorders. Some of the common treatments we offer include:

CPAP & BIPAP Therapy: CPAP and BIPAP machines are used to treat obstructive and central sleep apnea by ensuring continuous airflow during sleep. These devices help children breathe more easily and get the restful sleep they need.
Behavioral Interventions: For children with insomnia or other sleep difficulties, we offer behavioral interventions to help establish healthy sleep habits. This can include sleep hygiene education, relaxation techniques, and cognitive behavioral therapy for sleep disorders (CBT-I).
Medication Management: In some cases, medication may be prescribed to help manage conditions like RLS, narcolepsy, or severe insomnia.

Tonsillectomy and Adenoidectomy (T&A): In most cases, OSA in children can be cured with this simple procedure, usually as an outpatient surgery.
