The Basics of Pediatric Sleep: Why We Sleep

In the first part of our on-demand course for pediatric clinicians, “The Basics of Pediatric Sleep,” I talk about Who Needs Sleep, What is Sleep, and Why We Sleep.

While there are many competing theories for why we sleep, one of my favorites is the plasticity theory, as this focuses on brain development.

In this preview video, I talk about how slow wave sleep (or deep sleep) is seen in the part of the brain that is associated with different developmental milestones.

If you are a pediatric clinician who wants to learn more about sleep, “The Basics of Pediatric Sleep” course is for you! The course includes:

• Four (4) hours of video content, broken into bite sized videos.
