Is the intersection of Childhood Obesity and pediatric sleep problems merely confined to a discussion of poor sleep habits leading to weight gain? With weight gain, one is likely to develop Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and is it therefore a mere consequence of poor habits? This webinar aims to present concepts beyond just these commonly known associations. It will begin with an introduction about normal sleep and the circadian rhythm. It will also review some key concepts illustrating how circadian physiology and a person s activities may interact, leading to weight gain. It will also summarize how OSA in the child with obesity can be much more complicated. It will enumerate some comorbid sleep problem in children with syndromic obesity.
