A good night’s sleep is important at any age – but for kids, it can be vital for many reasons. Poor sleep can affect a child’s health, mood, and behavior. Tired kids may have trouble paying attention in school, get sick more easily, feel irritable and act out.

Mercy Kids sleep experts evaluate children with sleep problems using physical exams and, in some cases, overnight sleep studies that monitor your child's brain activity, breathing, heart rate and more while they sleep.

Sleep problems are frustrating, but they can be treated. Mercy’s sleep specialists are here to help your child sleep better and wake up rested, refreshed and ready to take on the day.
