Sleep Laboratory

Quality sleep is essential for a child’s growth and development. The Sleep Laboratory is used to assess children with a variety of sleep-related disorders. It is a safe, easy and painless way of monitoring the child’s breathing and behavioural patterns during sleep. The Sleep Lab at SickKids is one of four paediatric sleep laboratories in Canada. Children of any age can be studied, from infancy to 18 years of age. All studies are performed overnight and a parent is required to stay with the child for the entire study. 

All requests for testing must be made by a physician or surgeon.
