Find Freedom From Difficult Behaviors

Discover if your child’s struggles stem from sleep and breathing issues.

An estimated 3-15% of children in the US are believed to have sleep apnea, but 90% of them are still undiagnosed! Children who suffer from sleep apnea can suffer cognitively and behaviorally, but parents and doctors can tend to focus only on the symptoms—not the root cause.

Unfortunately, this means many parents never discover that their children’s behavior issues (like bed-wetting, ADHD, and struggles in school) stem from poor quality sleep, and children continue to suffer for years—even decades.

If your child snores or breathes through their mouth, this is a very good sign they may have sleep-disordered breathing and need to get help now.

It’s Not Just Adults Who Suffer From Sleep Apnea

“Sierra Sleep Airway and Wellness Center has drastically changed my son’s life. He was six and struggled with dyslexia, reading, and staying focused. We worried as parents that he was going to get held back in school. Now that my son has been using his airway appliance, his reading levels have been improving dramatically--from struggling to read kindergarten books to reading chapter books. Thanks to Sierra Sleep I have a better version of my son.”

“Since our son has received and started utilizing his sleep appliance, we have seen many of the life-changing benefits it has had on him. Being wiped out after what we thought was a good night’s rest and a regular school day is a thing of the past. He maintains better focus as well as having increased stamina throughout his daily tasks. Thank you Dr. Bocchi for helping my son be a better version of himself.”

Patrick G.

“Our son has been wetting the bed since the age of 2, along with sleep talking and walking. This meant sleepless nights for us, a ton of laundry, and a child who felt embarrassed to spend the night at friends’ houses. When he completed the sleep test and CT scan we finally found the root cause of his struggles. Within the first month of using his appliance, he went from wetting the bed every night to just one time! After a year of use, we can see a huge change--his mouth is developing properly, his teeth are aligned, and he’s not wetting the bed or sleep talking/walking. This has been life changing for our whole family!”
