- King Henry IV's longing for sleep seems at odds with modern-day society's desire to wring the most out of a day. Many of us are trying to do more with less sleep. Many more people yearn to sleep better, but, for a variety of reasons, they cannot. Some have difficulty falling asleep or have their sleep disturbed frequently throughout the night. Others feel tired even after what seems to be a full night's sleep. Still others may encounter a number of abnormal sleep experiences, such as frequent and disturbing nightmares, sleep terrors (which at first resemble nightmares but are a very different sleep disturbance), sleepwalking, or sleeptalking. This chapter addresses the many ways in which sleep can be disrupted, along with what is known about the causes of these problems.
- How Common Are Sleep Problems?.
- You may be surprised to learn that as many as one of every four otherwise healthy adults experiences significant problems with sleep. At the same time, a similar ratio of children experience sleep problems. What is most alarming is that sleep problems seem to occur more often in people with special needs. As if life were not complicated enough, adding a sleep problem on top of all of the other difficulties can make getting through each day a greater challenge for people with special needs as well as for their families and friends.

- Sleep Problems in Children and Teens.
- Children with healthy sleep patterns function better and are less prone to behavioral problems and moodiness. As parents, we need to teach our children the techniques of good sleep habits that will last a lifetime.

The parasomnias--sleep terrors, somnambulism and enuresis--appear to be related to central nervous system immaturity and are often outgrown. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is frequently missed in children and can often be cured through surgery. Behavioral sleep problems may be overcome after parents make interventions. ...
- Sleep behaviors are among the most common concerns that parents of young children bring to their physicians. ... Sleep disorders in children, if confirmed by reproducible findings in a sleep laboratory, are not appreciably different from those occurring in adults. However, sleep problems, defined as a sleep pattern that is unsatisfactory to the parents, child or physician, are far more common.
- Defining disordered sleep behavior is difficult because of important differences in sleep patterns that occur at different developmental stages. ... To make the definition of sleep problems even more difficult, families vary greatly in their tolerance of their children's sleeping habits; what one family finds problematic, another family takes as a matter of course.
- Helping a family resolve a child's sleep problem is satisfying for a family physician and worth the time spent taking a careful history.
- Normal Sleep in Children.
- Early-infant sleep is quite different from the sleep of adults. Infants younger than six months spend 50 percent of their sleep time in active rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep, compared with 20 percent in adults. Infants enter sleep through an initial active REM stage, in contrast to adults, who don't commonly enter REM sleep until 90 minutes into the sleep cycle. Active REM emerges more often during a sleep cycle in infants, resulting in shorter sleep cycles. Until six months of age, quiet REM (also known as quiet or indeterminate sleep) cannot be subdivided into the four electroencephalographic (EEG) stages known in the mature sleep pattern.

- www.asdreams.org
- Children suffer more frequent nightmares than their parents and, prior to the age of six, nightmares are especially common. ... There is even speculation among specialists in child development that the sleep disturbances of infants in the first year of life may be wordless nightmares. Nightmares diminish as children grow older, master their fears, and gain more control over their world. A long-term study of 252 children showed that five to ten percent of seven- and eight-year-old children had nightmares once a week. By the time children in the study were between eleven and fourteen, disturbing dreams were infrequent, especially for boys. ... For children, this could occur in response to such events as entering school, moving to a new neighborhood or living through a divorce or remarriage. A good working assumption is that many nightmares in children are reactions to upsetting events, situations and relationships. ... Gina agreed and taking the dream at face value, she suggested that they spray some air freshener before he goes back to sleep. ...
- For example, children of divorce frequently dream that their parents have reunited; abuse survivors are often victims or perpetrators of violence in their dreams; and adopted children intermittently dream of their birth parents. ... STAGES OF RESOLUTION IN RECURRING DREAMS Three stages of resolution can be identified in children's nightmares. ...
- In some cases, children spontaneously resolve a recurring nightmare as the formerly distressing situations which caused the nightmares get worked out in the child's real life. ... As children mature emotionally and intellectually, they gain increasing control over their childhood fears and feel more confident in their ability to solve problems and handle situations independently. ... In order to soothe the lingering terror and banish the demons of the night, you must learn the Four R's that spell nightmare relief for your children. ... Reassurance is the first and most important dimension of remedying children's nightmares. ... Even with young children, rescripting is most effective when it is a collaborative process of brainstorming together. ... Like many children her age and older, Zoe did not want to discuss other fears connected to her recent fire dream except to say that she had the dream after watching a violent movie at a friend's house. ... Even chronic nightmare sufferers, both adults and children, have found relief from relatively simple treatments and techniques. ... Ann Sayre Wiseman, author of Nightmare Help warns that suggesting the murder or destruction of a dream foe may subtly encourage violent solutions to life problems and reinforce a tendency that children are already overexposed to through television, movies, news and violence in our society. ... Through the process of exploring, brainstorming, and rehearsing metaphoric solutions to their children's nightmares, parents begin to feel more secure in linking dream symbols to the current events and relationships in their child's waking world. ...
