These problems are disruptive and can cause stress for parents or caregivers. A number of factors associated with sleep disturbances in children are described in the literature, including developmental, environmental, and/or psychosocial factors. Chronobiology and the part that melatonin plays in sleep are lesser-known factors associated with sleep disturbances that have recently become of interest. The development of the sleep-wake cycle in children and the role of melatonin in this cycle are described. Factors that are associated with alterations in melatonin production, such as light, medications, and food are discussed. Strategies for maintaining a synchronized melatonin rhythm that may be a beneficial adjunct in the treatment of sleep disturbances in children are presented.Citation Details
