sudden sleep disorder in 8 year old girl
by annemarie9, Jul 23, 2009 01:08AM
My 8 year old daughter has suddenly developed a sleeping problem, she goes to sleep , sleeps soundly for about 3 hours and then sleep on and off for the rest of the night. She often is awake during this period for about 3 hours.She says she doesn't see things, her thoughts are not racing or keeing her awake. I have limited TV to the minimum and she does not drink coffee or any sodas.She complains of being tired during day time.

These are symptons of obstructive sleep apnea which can occur in children. I am not a doctor but I suggest asking her doctor to refer her to a sleep clinic to do a sleep study test called a polysomnography which can help diagnosis her sleep disorder.
