Can Children suffer from a Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome?
Delayed sleep phase causes a child to stay awake after their normal bedtime and therefore needs to stay in bed for longer in the morning. Delayed sleep phase is particularly common in teenagers as their minds and bodies are developing so quickly.
Why does my child snore so much?
Snoring is very common, in both children and adults. It isn't usually a sign of anything to worry about, but loud persistent snoring in children can be a symptom of something more serious.
How do I know my child has a sleep problem? Getting a good night's sleep isn't just about sleeping for the right amount of time. The quality of sleep matters too. If your child isn't feeling refreshed when they wake up, it is important to find out what's wrong.
