The Role of Family Physicians in Children's Sleep.

Sleep holds significant importance for maintaining health and aiding in illness recovery. Its deprivation impacts all human organ systems, from cognitive function, social interaction, and work capacity to cellular regeneration and immune function. Therefore, sleep plays a crucial role in our body and maintaining health and well-being. Given its importance and close relationship with the neurodevelopment and growth of children and adolescents, this topic is highly significant in pediatric and adolescent health consultations. Family physicians, due to their proximity and understanding of the individual within their family, have the prerogative to contribute to family literacy, empower them, and significantly enhance the quality of life and overall health.
