Question
A 9-year-old always nods off during the day, regardless of whether they sleep well at night or not. Have there been any treatments tried, and what were the results? I want to know what’s wrong with my child, is it an illness?
Answer
A 9-year-old who frequently falls asleep during the day may be experiencing insufficient sleep or poor sleep quality. It is recommended to ensure that the child gets at least 8 hours of sleep each night and consider supplementing with calcium. If this situation affects the child’s studies and daily life, it is advisable to take them to a hospital for a check-up to determine if they have a sleep disorder. Additionally, a proper nap during the day can also be beneficial.
