Sleep is a natural physiological need of humans to balance endogenous and exogenous factors. Sleep disorders in children - including narcolepsy - if not detected and adjusted promptly will greatly affect both the physical and mental development of children.

Night terrors are one of the most common sleep disorders in children. Night terrors typically occur in children between the ages of 1 and 8, occurring during stages 3 and 4 of slow wave sleep.

Sleepwalking is one of the most common sleep disorders in children. Sleepwalking is a seemingly purposeful activity that occurs when a child suddenly awakens from a deep sleep.
