A Calgary Pediatric Sleep Clinic That Puts Children First
Does your child have a sleep disorder?
As a parent, you know what can happen when you or your child doesn’t get enough sleep. It can affect everyone’s mood, behaviour, memory, and physical and mental well-being.
Often sleep disorders are overlooked, or misdiagnosed. There are over 20 sleep disorders that can affect children. Signs can range from getting too much sleep, inadequate sleep, restless sleep, an inability to focus… the list goes on. It is important to talk to a doctor and get to a Calgary pediatric sleep clinic in order to have a sleep test done.
Having a child with a sleep problem is a family affair.

The BEARS necessities
Another way to tell if you child is getting the required amount of sleep is by answering the BEARS questionnaire. Why “BEARS”? For one, bears are renowned for their sleeping abilities during hibernation. And two, it is a helpful acronym for the following:
B: Bedtime
E: Excessive daytime sleepiness
A: Awakening during the night
R: Regularity (and duration) of sleep
S: Snoring
Take The BEARS Questionnaire
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, your child may have a sleep problem that should be discussed with your pediatrician or Family Doctor.
If you have answered No to these questions but still have sleep concerns for your child, please contact an MRG specialist at: 403-873-7605

We encourage you to write down your answers and share them with your family doctor – and the pediatric sleep specialist at Maple Respiratory Group’s Pediatric Sleep Clinic. It will help us in our diagnosis.
