Medical Advice:
Additionally, poor sleep in babies may not necessarily be related to illness, apart from other factors. For example, due to parental affection, excessive play or prolonged TV watching by the child during the day can lead to high cortical arousal before deep sleep, making it difficult for the child to fall asleep peacefully. Similarly, if parents are overly caring, they may often dress and cover the child too warmly before bed, resulting in excessive sweating and a persistent feeling of heat, which hinders sleep. Even worse, to prevent the child from catching a cold or fever, some parents may keep doors and windows tightly closed, leading to poor indoor air circulation.
We know that while children's pulmonary blood vessels are rich, their oxygen content is relatively low. If the indoor air is stuffy and hinders gas exchange, it can directly disrupt the child's deep sleep. This phenomenon is not uncommon in our daily lives.
Furthermore, improper diet can also directly cause restless deep sleep in children if they eat too much or consume indigestible foods before bed. Regarding infants, constipation, wet diapers, skin itching, or thirst and hunger-induced cramps are also common and should not be overlooked. Parents must pay close attention and observe carefully.
Additionally, it is important to check the child's stool for the presence of pinworms.
