Sleep disorders in children are diverse in type, common, often serious in their effects yet neglected in professional education. They complicate many psychiatric disorders and can cause various cognitive and behavioural problems as well as more widespread difficulties in the family as a whole. Accurate assessment allows an appropriate choice from the various types of treatments that are now available but often under used. Diagnostic points and treatment approaches are outlined for the three main categories of childhood sleep disorder: sleeplessness; excessive sleepiness; and episodic disturbances related to sleep (parasomnias). The need for more widespread awareness of and provision for sleep disorders is emphasized.
儿童睡眠障碍类型多样，十分常见，影响往往较为严重，但在专业教育中却常被忽视。它们会使许多精神疾病复杂化，还可能导致各种认知和行为问题，以及给整个家庭带来更广泛的困难。准确评估有助于从现有的各类治疗方法中做出恰当选择，但这些方法往往未得到充分利用。本文概述了儿童睡眠障碍三大主要类型的诊断要点和治疗方法：失眠；过度嗜睡；以及与睡眠相关的发作性障碍（异态睡眠）。强调了更广泛地认识和应对睡眠障碍的必要性。
