What are some potential pitfalls when using Traits in PHP classes?

One potential pitfall when using Traits in PHP classes is the possibility of method name conflicts if the same method is defined in both the trait and the class. To solve this issue, you can use the `insteadof` and `as` keywords to alias the conflicting method in the class. 

trait ExampleTrait {
    public function sayHello() {
        echo "Hello from Trait!";
    }
}

class ExampleClass {
    use ExampleTrait {
        sayHello as traitHello;
    }

    public function sayHello() {
        echo "Hello from Class!";
    }
}

$example = new ExampleClass();
$example->sayHello(); // Output: Hello from Class!
$example->traitHello(); // Output: Hello from Trait!
