The Sleep Center
The Sleep Center at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia is the only multidisciplinary sleep disorders center in the Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware tri-state area dedicated exclusively to children.
We diagnose and care for children with any type of sleep disorder, including:
- Sleep-disordered breathing
- Apnea of infancy
- Behavioral problems (bedtime struggles, night wakings)
- Parasomnias (sleep walking, sleep terrors)
- Narcolepsy
- Circadian rhythm disorders (delayed sleep phase syndrome)
- Movement disorders (periodic limb movement disorder, head banging)
We aid in the evaluation and management of children with obstructive sleep apnea, as well as chronic lung diseases, degenerative muscle disease with chronic respiratory failure, hypoventilation syndrome, and respiratory control disorders.
Our staff assist in making recommendations about supplemental oxygen, non-invasive ventilatory support in the form of CPAP or BiPAP, and mechanical assisted ventilation during sleep.
The Center houses the Sleep Laboratory, which is a brand-new, state of the art, 6-bed facility for overnight sleep studies.
