Potential alterations in sleep stages and disruptions during the night place children and adolescents with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) at risk for negative sequelae related to short sleep duration or suboptimal sleep. In this special report, research establishing the importance of sleep variables in diabetes care, including for improved adherence and glycemic control, is described. Also, emerging research is presented supporting the impact of sleep on academic performance, internalizing and externalizing symptoms, and parental functioning in children with adolescents with T1D. Given the various ways in which sleep relates to functional outcomes in children and adolescents with T1D, assessment suggestions for pediatric endocrinologists are discussed. Recommendations are also provided for intervention.
