Abstract
Background: Getting enough hours of sleep is important for children to grow and develop in a healthy way. However, many of them experience sleep problems at some point in their childhood. Obstructive sleep apnea is one of these problems, which in some cases can be really threating. Approximately 15% of children show mild to moderate symptoms, while most of these cases are undiagnosed.
