Summary

Pediatric craniopharyngioma patients experience significant endocrine and sleep dysregulation difficulties. Sleep is a crucial part of children's healthy development, and sleep difficulties are associated with severe functional morbidity. Insufficient sleep, excessive daytime sleepiness, and poor sleep quality have all been significantly related to academic, behavioral, and emotional functioning in children and adolescents. Ecological momentary assessments (EMA) will be used to collect observational data.

EMA data will be collected twice daily for one week. For the morning EMA administration, participants will be asked about their sleep. During the evening administration, participants will be asked about their daytime sleepiness, overall well-being, and family functioning. Covariates also administered during the evening administration include medication administration (Y/N) and total screen time. At the end of the EMA data collection period (on day 7 OR 8), participants will be sent a survey asking them to report - anonymously - their overall experience and satisfaction with the EMA data collection method.
