A teenager doesn't let narcolepsy stand in the way of her goals
Ariel has always been an extraordinary child. The oldest of four siblings, she worked hard in school, and was active and healthy for most of her childhood. So when the 11-year-old stumbled and fell while walking across the street to her grandparents' house, her mom, Erika, thought maybe her daughter was just going through a clumsy phase as she entered her pre-teen years.

More Details
Sleep is as important for growing children as nutrition and exercise. If your child is struggling with sleep problems, they may be at risk for behavioral / medical issues including lower school performance, focus and attention, mood issues and obesity or delayed growth. Getting them the care they need is crucial to set them on a path for success later in life.
Our Sleep Disorders Program at Children's Health℠ is accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine which recognizes our high standards of care to treat sleep disorders. You can be confident that your child will receive an accurate diagnosis and the best treatment possible to help resolve their sleep issues.
