Question
A five-year-old boy is experiencing early awakening and difficulty falling asleep. He wakes up at around 5 or 6 in the morning and has trouble going back to sleep. He is also sensitive to external noises at night, often waking up because of them. Parents are asking whether this is a sign of illness and how it should be treated.
Answer
According to the description, poor sleep in children can be caused by various factors, including changes in lifestyle and dietary habits, as well as calcium deficiency. Some children may be affected by insufficient emotional care. It is recommended to actively seek out the causes, measure trace elements for the child, and provide appropriate supplementation when necessary. Encourage children to participate in outdoor activities, get sunlight exposure to promote calcium absorption, and strengthen their immunity. At the same time, provide more warmth and care for the child, understand and master their sleep habits, and try to create a good sleep environment.
