Abstract
Sleep is critical for optimal growth and developmental outcomes in children.
Those with cerebral palsy (CP) experience sleep disorders (SDs) at higher rates than neurotypical
peers, with disruptions in sleep initiation/maintenance, sleep-wake transitions, excessive daytime
sleepiness, and night awakenings being prevalent. These disturbances significantly impair quality
of life. This study assessed the prevalence of SDs and associated factors among children with CP
at Black Lion Hospital’s Neurologic and Developmental Clinic in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
