Advance praise for The Oxford Handbook of Infant, Child, and Adolescent Sleep and Behavior. "The chapters in this volume not only review a broad range of topics central to sleep in the developing human, such as basic sleep regulatory mechanisms, the cultural context of sleep, and pediatric sleep disorders, but also offer fresh and provocative content. The combination of overview, analysis, and discussion is noteworthy ; no existing compilation matches the breadth and significance of this work.
This handbook is destined to become the go-to reference tool for the current and next generation of professionals fascinated with sleep." Monique K. LeBourgeois, Director, Sleep and Development Laboratory, University of Colorado Boulder.

An essential book for professionals in the fields of child development and childcare." Avi Sadeh, Professor of Psychology, School of Psychological Sciences, Tel Aviv University.
