Pediatric Sleep Studies

Specialized Care for Our Youngest Patients

The Crozer Health Sleep Centers offer comprehensive care for children’s sleep issues. Pediatric patients should be at least six months old.

Appointed with the latest technology and drawing from the most current research in the field, our Sleep Centers provide convenient, specialized care to patients and their families.

Who it’s for

Children can experience all of the same sleep disorders as adults; however, their symptoms may be different. Children may have sleep problems such as sleep apnea, sleepwalking or night terrors. Signs and symptoms of childhood sleep disorders can also include snoring, inability to fall or stay asleep, or being tired or overly excitable during the day.

What you’ll find

• Flexible check-in times to accommodate children's bedtimes;
• A lounge with a TV and snacks; and
• Sleeping accommodations for parents.
