Proper sleep is essential for a growing child’s development. At Baylor Scott & White McLane Children's, we have an accredited sleep laboratory at the Baylor Scott & White Sleep Institute with specialists trained to assess and treat your child’s sleep needs.
Our sleep medicine physicians take a multidisciplinary team approach, collaborating with other members of a child’s care team that may include a neurologist, psychologist, dentist, ear, nose and throat specialists and a pulmonary specialist.
Pediatric sleep specialists utilize advanced technology to evaluate and treat sleep disorders. Patients are assessed by a board-certified sleep specialist who arranges further tests to determine the cause of the sleep problem.
Patients may have a sleep study either in the laboratory or at home. Using techniques such as actigraphy (used to evaluate sleep patterns) and polysomnograms (sleep studies), children are cared for in a clean, family-friendly environment. The Baylor Scott & White Sleep Institute is one of the first facilities in the country to utilize new sleep technology to evaluate the relationship between sleep disorders and enuresis (bedwetting).
