Why do children have trouble sleeping at night?

Many people feel very miserable at night because they cannot sleep well. Even if they fall asleep at night, they will find themselves waking up very early the next day, even though they are still very sleepy. This problem also occurs in children, and this problem actually needs to be solved in a timely manner.

Milk: Milk contains two hypnotic substances: one is tryptophan, which can promote the brain nerve cells to secrete serotonin, a neurotransmitter that makes people drowsy; the other is peptides that regulate physiological functions. Among them, "opioid peptides" can combine with the central nervous system and exert an anesthetic and analgesic effect similar to opium, making people feel comfortable all over the body and helping to relieve fatigue and fall asleep. For people who suffer from neurasthenia due to physical weakness, the hypnotic effect of milk is more obvious.

Millet: Among all grains, millet is the richest in tryptophan. In addition, millet contains a large amount of starch, which can easily make people feel warm and full after eating, and can promote the secretion of insulin and increase the amount of tryptophan entering the brain.

Walnut: Clinically, walnuts have been proven to improve sleep quality, so they are often used to treat symptoms such as neurasthenia, insomnia, forgetfulness, and nightmares. The specific way to eat it is to mix it with black sesame seeds, mash it into a paste, and take 15 grams before going to bed. The effect is very obvious.

Sunflower seeds: Sunflower seeds contain a variety of amino acids and vitamins, which can regulate metabolism, improve the inhibitory function of brain cells, and have a calming and soothing effect. Eating some sunflower seeds after dinner can also promote the secretion of digestive juices, help digestion and relieve stagnation, and help sleep.

In addition, dates, honey, vinegar and whole wheat bread are also foods that help sleep: dates are rich in protein, vitamin C, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other nutrients, which have the effect of nourishing the spleen and calming the nerves. Drinking soup boiled with jujubes after dinner can help you fall asleep faster.

The above-mentioned foods can solve children’s sleep problems very well. In fact, sleep problems are really a topic worthy of everyone’s attention, because many times we will ignore such problems. Don’t forget that only by sleeping well can you have the energy to complete other things the next day.
