Why do children sleep with their eyes half open?

Many parents find that their children sleep with half their eyes open. There are many reasons for this, it may be due to a lack of trace elements in their body, it may be caused by genetic elements, or it may be due to too much light in the room. Parents need to pay special attention to this situation. Here we will explain in detail why children sleep with half their eyes open.

There may be many symptoms causing a child to sleep with half his eyes open. 1. If you are lacking in trace elements, you can supplement some calcium and vitamin D appropriately. 2. The indoor temperature is too high and the light is too strong. 3. Caused by frequent breastfeeding before going to bed. 4. It may be because the child is born with incomplete eyelid closure. He should go to the hospital for surgical correction as soon as possible. It is not a big problem. 5. It may be because the baby is in light sleep. 6. Incomplete eye closure may be caused by acute facial neuritis.

Other reasons:

1. Because the baby's eyelid muscles are relaxed, the eyelids may be half open or half closed when they are naturally relaxed. This is a normal physiological phenomenon.

2. It is related to the genetic genes of the parents. After half a year or one year, the eyelids will develop fully and will disappear naturally. It will not affect the health of the baby.

3. If the baby is frightened, feels insecure, and has a restless sleep at 100 days old, 1/4 of his eyelids will not close, the eyeballs can be seen, and the baby will be easily awakened. (Avoid sleeping in an environment with excessive light)

4. When the baby sleeps, the eyelids are open, which is called "sleeping with exposed eyes" in traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine explains that the baby's spleen and stomach function is unbalanced. The baby's internal organs are still relatively weak at this time, and their internal organs are in a stage of rapid growth. The spleen and stomach of young children often bear the load and pressure of the body. At this time, the baby needs to supplement a lot of nutrition. At this time, special attention should be paid to the baby's eating habits and illness, otherwise it is easy to cause damage to the baby's spleen and stomach. (Chinese medicine advises to avoid cold food for babies at this time, avoid being too full or too hungry, and avoid ingredients with strong flavors)

Things to note when your baby is sleeping:

1. Do not let your baby fall asleep with a pacifier in his mouth. If the baby falls asleep while drinking milk, you should gently remove the pacifier. Never let your baby develop the habit of falling asleep with a pacifier in his mouth.

2. The quilt should not be too thick. A too thick quilt will oppress the baby and cause breathing difficulties. Moreover, a thick quilt may not be warm and comfortable, which will affect the baby's sleep quality.

3. The light should not be too bright. In an environment that is too bright, babies not only have difficulty falling asleep, but also feel uncomfortable during sleep. When they wake up, the light can cause great damage to their eyes.

4. It is not advisable to sleep on your stomach. The baby's functions are not yet fully developed, and the internal organs do not have a sound resistance. Sleeping on your stomach can easily compress the internal organs and is not conducive to the baby's normal breathing.
