This presentation will review the criteria for pediatric insomnia disorder along with screening and evaluation to assist in diagnosis. There will be a discussion of comorbid psychiatric conditions with insomnia that will assist participants to recognize and guide treatment, management, and resources.  Dr. Nielsen will revisit nonpharmacologic interventions such as facilitating discussion around sleep hygiene. By the end of the session, participants will be able to identify evidence base for pharmacologic interventions.

At the conclusion of this activity, learners will be able to: 

• Review neuroanatomical and physiological basis for sleep
• Recognize prevalence, characteristics, and potential consequences of insomnia from childhood to adolescence
• Distinguish between the diverse nonpharmacological and pharmacological strategies and interventions utilized in managing pediatric insomnia
