What sleep studies can be performed for children?

My 13 year old daughter has sleeping issues. What sleep studies can be performed for children?

Same as for adults but most childhood sleep disorders don't need a sleep study.
Evaluation of sleep problems should start with a consultation to obtain history and physical. It is impossible without some knowledge of the complaint to provide additional information. A sleep specialist can be found either by asking your pediatrician or by going to the American Sleep Association website
