Diagnosis of EDS typically involves a thorough evaluation by a pediatrician or a sleep specialist. The process may include:
- Medical History and Physical Examination: The clinician will review the child's medical history and perform a physical exam to identify any underlying conditions. - Sleep Diary: Parents may be asked to maintain a sleep diary, documenting the child's sleep patterns, bedtime routines, and any nighttime awakenings. - Polysomnography: In some cases, an overnight sleep study, or polysomnography, may be recommended to monitor the child's sleep stages and identify any sleep disorders.
