On Demand Course

Because we know your time is limited, Nxyeos offers an on-demand course for busy clinical providers who want to learn about pediatric sleep. The Basics of Pediatric Sleep and Behavioral Interventions course includes a series of brief modules (no more than 10 minutes each), helping you learn something about pediatric sleep, even if you only have a short break!

If you are a busy clinical provider who wants to improve sleep in your pediatric patients, this course is for you!

Broken into bite-sized videos and case examples, this course includes 4 hours of recorded content on normal sleep across development, common pediatric sleep disorders, and interventions to treat sleep problems in infants through adolescents.
