Sleep problems can occur at any age, but when they occur in toddlers, children or young adults, they can have a big impact on the entire family. 20% of all children suffer from some type of sleeping problem, and the causes range from poor sleep habits and behavioral problems to underlying medical conditions. Whatever the cause, the impact can be disruptive to children and their families.
