Summary:Abstract The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that 9.5% of children have been diagnosed with asthma. Sleep disturbances affect 20% to 30% of the pediatric population. The prevalence of nocturnal symptoms of asthma is high, and most children regularly experience nighttime symptoms.
