Sleep Specialist Dr. Gerald Suh Differentiates Behavioral from Physiological Sleep Disorders
Date:2/19/2013

Bayside, NY (PRWEB) February 19, 2013

Every expectant parent knows that with the arrival of a new baby an uninterrupted night's sleep will become a longed for and distant memory, at least for some period of time. But while it's normal for a two-month-old to wake frequently during the night, it isn't normal for a two-year-old. Parents bring this and many other concerns about sleep behaviors to pediatricians and seek advice in books and online on how to develop healthy sleep habits in their children. “Eventually, most children outgrow frequent waking during the night and resistance at nap and bedtime,” says sleep specialist Dr. Gerald Suh. “But there are more serious sleep disturbances that if uncorrected can seriously affect the child's health and happiness and upset the family's equilibrium.”

Secondary disorders, such as night awakening and bedtime resistance, are more often behavioral in natu
