“…Behavioral interventions have become increasingly recognized as the treatment of choice for ITSD (Bootzin & Chambers, 1990;Dahl, 1992;Ferber, 1985). Principles of behavior that are successful in reducing daytime behavior problems have been equally effective in managing sleep disturbances (Douglas, 1989).…”

Sleep disturbance affects nearly 25% of infants and toddlers, resulting in fatigue, stress, and family dissatisfaction. This review describes empirically-based treatments for infant and toddler sleep disturbance involving difficulty settling and night waking, including behavioral and pharmacological approaches. Pharmacological interventions included antihistamines, chloral hydrate, benzodiazepines, and melatonin. Behavioral interventions included extinction and its many variants, positive bedtime routines, scheduled awakenings, and disassociating feeding from sleep-wake transitions. Advantages and disadvantages of each approach are discussed and suggestions offered for future research.

“…The symptoms of cataplexy may be treated with tricyclics (e.g., desipramine or imipramine), which are REM suppressors (Reite, Nagel, & Ruddy, 1990). However, Bootzin and Chambers (1990) have recommended that drug treatment be contraindicated in children younger than 10 years of age who experience narcolepsy. Unfortunately, most studies done on pharmacological treatments for narcolepsy involve adults; few studies include children.…”

Many children experience some type of sleep problem. Often, these are transient problems with no long-lasting sequelae. But in certain cases, sleep problems may significantly impact on functioning and well-being. Sleep disorders in children can be classified into two major categories. Dyssomnias include those disorders that result in difficulty either initiating or maintaining sleep or involve excessive sleepiness. Parasomnias are disorders that disrupt sleep after it has been initiated but do not result in complaints of insomnia or excessive sleepiness. Even though sleep disorders in children are common, not enough is known. This article reviews the dyssomnias and parasomnias experienced by children, discusses methodological limitations of the studies reviewed, and presents future directions for research in this field.

“…A sleep diary also helps establish a baseline of the problem severity by which the counselor can monitor ongoing progress with treatment. Sometimes a single sleepless night can result in client perception that treatment is not succeeding, whereas a quick review of the longer term data may indicate slow but steady improvement (Bootzin & Chambers, 1990). Finally, behavioral monitoring by itself can serve as an effective treatment component and provide the counselor a gauge of the family's overall compliance (Sheldon, 1996).…”

“…Although there are some pediatric sleep problems (e.g., obstructive sleep apnea, narcolepsy) that require medical attention, the majority involve clinical assessment and diagnosis. Most experts in the field agree that educational, psychological, and behavioral interventions are the mainstays of treatment for childhood sleep disturbance (Bootzin & Chambers, 1990;Dahl, 1992;Ferber, 1985;Minde, Faucon, & Falkner, 1994;Wolfson, Lacks, & Futterman, 1992).…”

This article provides guidelines for counselors interested in developing their own assessment procedure to evaluate child and adolescent sleep disturbance. The guidelines include reviewing the developmental and medical history, screening for parental psychopathology, obtaining a child behavior rating scale and sleep diary, and conducting a semistructured clinical interview to identify the sleep history and specific concerns. Considerations for referring clients for additional evaluation such as an overnight sleep study are discussed.Electronic Journal: To print this article select pages 111-120. TOC
