Evaluation of the Sleepy Child: Objectives What to Do When the Study is Normal 1. Describe the appropriate clinical assessment of the sleepy child Stacey L. Ishman, MD • screening questions/ questionnaires Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, • exam findings Cincinnati, OH • testing to screen for non-SDB causes of daytime sleepiness in children Thanks to: Scott Brietzke Susan Garetz Pell Wardrop 2

Objectives What We’ll Cover

2. Be familiar with the incidence, identification and impact of medical conditions that contribute to daytime tiredness including: 1) Evaluation of the sleepy child • • nocturnal 2) Narcolepsy, RLS • restless leg syndrome 3) Circadian rhythm disorders • circadian rhythm disorders 4)

3. Recognize the importance of adequate sleep hygiene and review the components of good

sleep habits 3 4

Incidence of Circadian Rhythm Circadian Rhythm Disorders NSF- 1/15 children in age range of 5- Disorders 13 years have CRD 200,000 children in US Adolescents reported prevalence up to 16% with Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome

Circadian Rhythm Physiology of Circadian Rhythm

– Natural internal clock is slightly The suprachiasmatic nucleus longer than 24 hours (SCN)= pacemaker – Cues in our environment keep us Light is the strongest influence on on a 24 hour clock –light, meals, the sleep/wake cycle social activity Melatonin secretion signals sleep period

10 5/28/2020

Retino-hypothalamic Tract

Light information transmitted to the brain by non-visual neurons (ganglion cells) originating in the back of the eye

Types of Pediatric Circadian Advanced Sleep Phase Rhythm Disorders Syndrome

Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome – Sleep and wake very early 6pm- 3am Advanced Sleep Phase Syndrome – May be genetic Irregular Sleep Wake Pattern – 1% Elderly Non-24 hours (Free-running) – Children- the early awakening is a problem for parents

Irregular Sleep Wake pattern Non-24 Sleep Wake pattern

– Random sleep wake pattern – History of insomnia or EDS or both – Lack of environmental cues- parental – > 3 months schedule – Sleep logs or actigraphy confirm (>14D) – Profound developmental delays – Blind 50% – Dementia

11 5/28/2020

Delayed Sleep Phase- Night General Treatment of CRDs Owls – Delay in sleep time by 2 or more hours Firm sleep/wake schedule- fixed – Difficulty arising in the morning AM arising time most important – Sleeping in very late on weekends Avoid weekend variation – Results in sleep deprivation during the week Sleep Hygiene- caffeine, computer, cell phones, lights, TV – Occurs in 7-16% of Teens

Melatonin Secretion Delay Factors contributing to DSPS

Evening BLUE light exposure - suppresses melatonin secretion – Computer screens – Video Games – Bright overhead lighting

History Treatment of DSPS Parents may not be aware of their teen’s sleep pattern Sleep Hygiene Teens may be reluctant to reveal their Firm Sleep Schedule sleep pattern Melatonin Chronotherapy

Parental Awareness: Summary Sleep Needs Sleep hygiene issues are by far the most common pediatric sleep problems

Sleepiness is not the most common way children with sleep disorders present

The sleep history and sleep diary are the most useful tools to make a diagnosis

The physical exam is of limited usefulness www.sleepfoundation.org PSG is only used in a minority of cases

Summary Summary • Narcolepsy can occur in children and is • Seizures must be differentiated from characterized by parasomnias • Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) • Can be increased with concomitant • Cataplexy (with = type 1, without = type 2) OSA • Hypnagogic hallucinations • Extended montage EEG with the • Sleep paralysis PSG may pick up nocturnal seizures • PSG with MSLT is the primary tool for • Tend to occur in NREM, rare in SWS diagnosis and REM • Full Neurologic evaluation with Extended EEG may be required

Summary Summary • RLS is characterized by 4 essential • RLS in children – alternate criteria: features: • Four essential adult criteria plus two • An urge to move, usually associated supportive criteria with • Supportive criteria • Onset or exacerbation of symptoms • Sleep disturbance for age (including daytime sleepiness) at rest • Biological parent or sibling with RLS • Relief of symptoms with movement • Sleep study documenting periodic limb • Symptoms manifesting in a circadian movement index ≥5/h pattern

Summary Summary

Circadian Rhythm Disorders are common in Awareness of problem/ sleep needs of children children and adolescents Set a good example Even if SDB present, look for other sleep – Most adults are sleep deprived as well! disorders Consistency important In Teens- be especially aware of DSPS and Sleep conducive environment the possibility of sleep deprivation Control use of electronics and caffeine Elderly – consider advanced sleep phase Legislation Driving restrictions for teens Blind – consider non-24 (free running) School start times
