This resource from the Cerebral Palsy Foundation highlights common sleep difficulties in children with CP and emphasises the importance of recognising and addressing sleep as part of regular care.

Children with cerebral palsy (CP) are more likely to experience sleep problems than other children, which can also affect their parents’ sleep and family life. These challenges are often not routinely discussed in healthcare settings.
