Before your visit we often recommend that you keep a detailed sleep log of your child's sleep for a couple of weeks before your appointment. This will give us a detailed window into your child’s sleep problems. Download a sleep log.
Your first visit will last about an hour. You and your child will meet with a nurse practitioner trained in sleep medicine or an attending physician who is a board-certified sleep specialist. Because we are a teaching hospital for Harvard Medical School, a sleep fellow or medical trainee may accompany your child's doctor or nurse practitioner.
The initial meeting is comprised of an interview and physical exam. Depending on the nature of the problem, we will then either construct a treatment plan or advise you on the next steps of testing.
