Your child’s sleep is key to their overall health and development. At OSF HealthCare, our team is specially trained in sleep disorders in children, and offers comprehensive evaluation, diagnosis and treatment for all types of sleep issues to help your child get the rest their body needs.
Any disorder that consistently disrupts your child’s ability to get the amount of quality sleep their body needs is considered a sleep disorder. Sleep disorders can impact people of all ages, from infants to adults.

If you and your child’s provider are concerned about your child’s sleep, you can request a referral to our pediatric sleep specialists for a comprehensive evaluation. During this evaluation, our team will review your child’s symptoms and other information about their condition. Following the evaluation, your child may be referred to a sleep study at the OSF Sleep Lab.
Our team of pediatric sleep experts are committed to helping your child improve their sleep and overall wellness.

The cost of a sleep study can vary depending on your insurance and the type of sleep study your child needs. As with any testing, it’s important to talk with your insurance provider. If you need financial support, our financial navigator team can you help understand your specific cost.
Your child’s sleep study results are typically available within one week via OSF MyChart. Our pediatric sleep disorders team will contact you to review the results and offer recommendations.
The length of a sleep study depends on the type of study your child needs. Most nighttime sleep studies begin at 8 p.m. and end at 6 a.m. the next morning. Other studies may be shorter. Your provider will go over these details with you prior to your scheduled sleep study.
Home sleep studies are not available for children currently. Conducting a sleep study in the sleep lab allows us to have more control over the environment and get more accurate results for your child.
