Expert Care for Children's Sleep Disorders in New Jersey

If your child is struggling with sleep, you're not alone. Many families across New Jersey face challenges with bedtime routines, night wakings, or daytime fatigue. But when sleep problems become consistent, they can affect your child’s mood, focus, development, and overall health.

At Hackensack Meridian Children’s Health, our Pediatric Center for Sleep Medicine, available at multiple convenient locations in New Jersey, offers expert care for infants, children, and teens experiencing sleep difficulties. We are proud to be the first in the region to offer advanced pediatric sleep diagnostics and treatment, with a compassionate team that specializes in the unique needs of children.

Our centers are staffed by board-certified pediatric sleep medicine specialists who work closely with families and pediatricians to identify the cause of your child’s sleep challenges and guide you through the next steps toward restful nights and better days.

Signs Your Child May Have a Sleep Disorder

If you notice any of the following signs, it may be time to talk to a sleep specialist:

• Daytime sleepiness or trouble staying awake
• Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep
• Snoring, noisy breathing, or mouth breathing during sleep
• Frequent night wakings or napping problems
• Reversed sleep schedules (awake at night, sleeping during the day)
• Irritability or behavioral concerns linked to sleep issues
• Sleeping very late on weekends

Conditions We Treat

We care for a wide range of pediatric sleep disorders, including:

• Circadian rhythm disorders (disruptions in the body’s internal clock)
• Insomnia
• Restless legs syndrome and limb movement disorders
• Obstructive sleep apnea
• Parasomnias such as sleep terrors, kicking, sleepwalking, or nightmares
• Narcolepsy

We also support children with behavioral or neurodevelopmental conditions, such as ADHD or autism, who often face unique challenges related to sleep. In some cases, sleep problems may even be mistaken for attention or behavioral concerns, making proper evaluation and treatment especially important.
