During this symposium, interdisciplinary experts will review the fundamentals of sleep and polysomnography; highlight the role sleep plays across cleft and craniofacial team disciplines; cover the impact of sleep on health and quality of life; address practical strategies for assessing sleep; and discuss the range of multidisciplinary interventions for sleep disorders in the context of cleft and craniofacial conditions, including changes related to cleft and craniofacial surgeries.
