Y1 - 2023 N1 - T2 - CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment Pediatric Neurology AB - Sleep is the primary brain activity of the youngest children with an estimated 9500 hours (13 months) spent in sleep by the time a child is 2 years old (as compared to 8000 hours awake).1 The sheer proportion of time young individuals spend in this state suggests its importance in appropriate development. Many have similarly argued that sleep is of particular importance in developing animals.2-5 Although the functions of sleep are still not well elucidated, roles for sleep in cognition, learning, and memory consolidation are well founded.4,6-10 It therefore stands to reason that issues of sleep may have developmental consequences, both for typically developing children and those with atypical neurodevelopment.
