Résumé

Sleep disturbances and sleep disorders are prevalent in children/adolescents and have a bidirectional relationship with pediatric medical and mental health disorders. Screening tools and mechanisms for the evaluation and treatment of sleep disturbances and sleep disorders in the pediatric mental health clinic are less well-known; hence, sleep disturbances and disorders are under-recognized in the pediatric clinics. We present specific, validated screening and evaluation tools to identify sleep disturbances and sleep disorders in children/adolescents. We offer guidance related to the use of consumer wearables for sleep assessments and use of sleep telemedicine in pediatric mental health and primary care clinics.
