Abstract
Recently the polygraphic study of sleep has provided techniques for the assessment of central nervous system (CNS) functioning in new-born infants and the diagnosis of sleep disorders in children. First, in this review, the normal developmental course of the "active" and the "quiet" sleep states from birth through childhood is described. Then, within the context of these recent electro-physiologic findings, the abnormalities of sleep state organization during the neonatal period, the physiologic disorders of sleep in older children, and finally, the psychological disturbances manifested through sleep are reviewed.
