Question
What should be done if a child experiences insomnia one year after heart surgery?
Answer
Insomnia is usually caused by both physiological and psychological factors. Physiological factors include physical discomfort, illness, or traumatic pain; psychological factors include anxiety, stress, and other mental disturbances. Another cause is the fear of insomnia itself, which can lead to more severe sleep problems. First, we need to observe the child’s specific situation and take them to the hospital for checks and treatment if necessary.
