Abstract:
Excessive sleepiness is a common but under-recognized problem in children. This article examines the clinical and laboratory evaluation of sleepiness in children, including the use of polysomnography, the multiple sleep latency test, and other varieties of neurophysiologic testing. Where applicable, technical aspects of laboratory testing are reviewed. Alternative laboratory and neurobehavioral techniques used to investigate daytime sleepiness are also briefly covered.
