Abstract
By the time children are 5 years old more of their life will have been spent asleep than awake. Sleep medicine is therefore especially relevant in paediatrics. However, one recent survey showed that paediatricians' knowledge of sleep medicine is poor and that few paediatricians enquire about sleep as part of their general consultation.1
