Sleep Center

Getting enough sleep is critical to your child's growth and development. While occasional sleep troubles are normal, if your child has frequent or longer lasting problems sleeping, they may benefit from seeing a sleep specialist.

The Sleep Center at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) diagnoses and treats children with various sleep disorders. We pair physicians and psychologists to offer a unique approach to care that focuses on both mind and body.

How we serve you

Sleep is closely linked to physical health, mental health and some neurodevelopment conditions. A thorough sleep assessment and evaluation will help us diagnose the root of your child's sleep problems, and create a treatment plan to meet their needs. Learn more about our sleep labs and support services.

Conditions we treat

Some kids have trouble falling asleep, while others can't stay asleep. Sometimes, there is an underlying medical problem that is disrupting a child's normal sleeping pattern. We diagnose and care for children with all types of sleep symptoms and sleep disorders.
