Pediatric Sleep Center Available At NJ Neuroscience Institute

Most people are aware of sleep disorders such as sleep apnea and how they impact adult lives, but most aren't aware that sleep disorders can occur in our youngest population--infants, children, and young adults. Until recently, this population was often overlooked when it came to the study and treatment of sleep disorders. The Pediatric Sleep Center at New Jersey Neuroscience Institute, an affiliate of JFK Medical Center in Edison, NJ, is changing all that.

Okey P. Anene, MD, Director of the Children's Neurological Center comments, Sleep disorders in the younger population have often gone overlooked. Issues such as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome were considered unrelated, when in fact there may be a connection to sleep apnea. And symptoms such as irritability, fatigue, even hyperactivity were often regarded as youthful behaviors when in fact they can be indicators of serious sleep and health issues. Anene notes that sleep disorders can impact children's ability to function during awake times, as well as impact long-term health and wellness. Adds Anene, For issues such as sleep apnea and SIDS, death can be a very real threat.
