This symposium from Sleep DownUnder 2025 combines the expertise of multiple clinical and academic disciplines within paediatric sleep medicine to highlight current knowledge gaps around childhood sleep development. It demonstrates how it may be possible to combine data from parent report, existing physiological markers measured during sleep and novel technology to assist in defining the spectrum of “normal” and “abnormal” sleep development during childhood and discusses the potential clinical significance.
