Sleep disorders are common in children. The sleep disturbances associated with these disease processes may impact neurodevelopment and result in daytime behavioral and cognitive changes. Currently, there are no precise methods to accurately assess sleep disruption in the pediatric age group. There is evidence that American Sleep Disorders Association (ASDA) arousals are insufficient markers of sleep disruption in children. Other techniques that have been used to assess sleep disruption include unconventional means of evaluating the electroencephalogram (EEG) during sleep and evaluating subcortical or autonomic activation. The aim of this review is to discuss the application of conventional and unconventional markers of sleep disruption in children.
睡眠障碍在儿童中很常见。与这些疾病过程相关的睡眠干扰可能会影响神经发育，并导致白天行为和认知方面的变化。目前，尚无精确方法来准确评估儿科年龄组的睡眠中断情况。有证据表明，美国睡眠障碍协会（ASDA）觉醒情况不足以作为儿童睡眠中断的指标。其他用于评估睡眠中断的技术包括在睡眠期间评估脑电图（EEG）的非常规方法以及评估皮层下或自主神经激活情况。本综述的目的是讨论儿童睡眠中断的传统和非常规指标的应用。
