BEARS Sleep Screening Tool

BEARS is divided into 5 major sleep domains (B=Bedtime Issues, E=Excessive Daytime Sleepiness, A=Night Awakenings, R=Regularity and Duration of Sleep, S=Snoring) and helps clinicians evaluate potential sleep problems in children 2 to 18 years old. Each sleep domain has a set of age-appropriate “trigger questions” for use in the clinical interview.
