Does your child have sleep difficulties? You are not alone!

Scope’s Sleep Solutions service aims to help parents whose child has sleep difficulties and recognises the devastating impact that sleep deprivation can have on families. If you can identify the cause of your child’s sleep problem you are more able to find suitable strategies to address the issue.

Keeping a sleep diary for at least 2 weeks is a useful way of finding out what the problem is and whether there is a pattern to your child’s sleep disturbance. You can download a sleep diary from the Scope website:

www.scope.org.uk/help-and-information/cerebral-palsy-and-associated-impairments/sleep-difficulties-children

A GP may consider prescribing medication which can be useful for very short periods. It is not a cure for sleeping problems but combined with management changes, can be useful.

Remember it may take longer to see an improvement if a child has a neurological impairment.

Scope’s Sleep Solutions Service can offer support around sleep issues.
