What are the causes of convulsions in children during sleep?

The quality of a baby's sleep directly affects the baby's physical health, so parents must provide the baby with a comfortable sleeping environment. Many babies often have convulsions when they sleep at night, so many parents are very anxious and don't know how to deal with it. In fact, there are many reasons for this phenomenon. Let's take a look at the reasons for children's convulsions at night.

First, what are the reasons for children's convulsions at night? Physiological crying: the baby's diaper is wet or wrapped too tightly, hunger, thirst, inappropriate indoor temperature, too thick bedding, etc., which will make the baby feel uncomfortable and cry. In this case, parents only need to eliminate adverse stimulation in time and let the baby fall asleep comfortably.

Second, lack of adaptation to the environment: Some babies cannot adapt to the natural environment and their day and night are reversed. If you pick up the baby and play with him, the crying will stop. Gradually adjust your baby's reversed day and night sleeping habits, and ask a child health doctor for guidance if necessary. Insufficient exercise during the day: Some babies do not get enough exercise during the day and refuse to fall asleep at night and cry constantly. These babies should increase their activity during the day so that they can be tired and fall asleep peacefully at night.

Third, for some babies, excessive excitement during the day may lead to crying in the middle of the night. For these babies, the "silent therapy" can be used, that is, talking less to the baby during the day, and interacting with the baby with a silent smile, so as to calm the baby who was originally highly nervous due to excessive care.

What are the reasons for children's convulsions when sleeping at night? Improper arrangement of nap time: Some babies cannot get up in the morning, and take a nap at 2-3 o'clock in the afternoon, or the nap time is too early, so they fall asleep early at night, wake up in the middle of the night, and cry if no one is playing with them. These babies can be woken up earlier in the morning and their nap time can be adjusted appropriately so that they feel sleepy at night and can sleep soundly until dawn. Impact of disease: Certain diseases can also affect the baby’s sleep at night. To this end, we must start with the primary disease and actively prevent and treat it.
