The 28 chapters of this book compile the expertise of the leading pediatric sleep researchers and clinicians in the field of sleep medicine.It also covers in detail those sleep-related disturbances that are most prevalent in the pediatric population, including respiratory disorders, problems of circadian timing, parasomnias and movement disorders. - Margaret Papadakis, BS, RPSGT, Review of the First Edition

This is quite a significant contribution to the field of pediatric sleep medicine. The editors and chapter authors are prominent experts in the field. As with the prior edition, it will serve as an essential resource on pediatric sleep medicine for those involved in the care of children and adolescents. It provides a timely update, given the rapid expansion of knowledge from the robust scientific investigation in this field. -M.
