Question
What’s causing a child to be extremely tired but not sleep?
Answer
Babies refuse to sleep often because they feel uncomfortable, which can include various factors. For instance, eating too much before bedtime, indigestion, overheating, or an uncomfortable sleeping position; not having someone to comfort them, feeling insecure, or emotional instability; room temperature that is too high or too low, a damp, dark, or noisy environment. Little ones are highly sensitive and react strongly to people, things, and objects around them, so your lifestyle and behavior directly affect them. Additionally, a lack of trace elements can also lead to sleeplessness. It’s important to check for trace elements and promptly supplement calcium, get plenty of sunlight, as these all benefit sleep.
