What to do if children can't sleep at night

Everyone knows that some babies are very energetic, especially some babies refuse to go to bed late at night. This phenomenon is very common. Some babies often experience this situation. Not only do they suffer, but their parents also suffer. If the baby does not get enough sleep at night, it will affect his growth and development. This worries many parents. What should we do if children can't sleep at night?

What should I do if my child always can't sleep in the middle of the night?

First of all, don’t eat too much before going to bed at night. If children eat too much, they will toss and turn at night and have trouble sleeping, or even suffer from indigestion.

Also, you should not be too excited before going to bed at night. If your brain is in a particularly excited state, it will be easy to fall asleep.

What should I do if the child still cannot fall asleep even though the first two conditions are met? Parents should accompany their children and put them to bed before 10 o'clock in the evening, and turn off the lights, computer and TV. It is easy to fall asleep before 10 o'clock.

Reasons why babies can't sleep well

1. Poor sleeping environment

Too much indoor light and too much external noise will disturb the normal sleep of young children and easily wake them up. Babies are prone to kicking off the quilt at night and catching a cold, or the quilt is too thick and too hot, which can cause the baby to be irritable and wake up easily.

To avoid this situation, all the mother needs to do is create a safe and comfortable bed environment for the baby. The baby's bones are not fully developed at this stage, so the mattress should be of moderate hardness and not too soft, so as not to affect the baby's bone growth. At this time, you should choose a suitable pillow for your baby to facilitate their sleep.

To prevent your baby from kicking off the quilt and catching a cold at night, you can cover your baby with a small cotton quilt, put thick socks on his little feet, and expose them outside the quilt. It is not advisable to let the baby sleep in thick clothes. If the baby is tightly wrapped in thick clothes, it can easily lead to poor breathing and blood circulation, affecting physical development.

2. No good sleeping habits

Most babies don’t sleep well because they have bad habits and have not formed a biological clock, which causes them to not distinguish between day and night.

In fact, in daily life, parents can play with their babies and do appropriate exercises. When the babies are tired, it will be easier for them to fall asleep at night and they will sleep more soundly at night. Friends who are interested can try it!
