What should I do if my child doesn't sleep much?

Patient's question:

My baby is 4 years old today
Smart and lively
But the troublesome thing is
The child is in excellent spirits
24 hours a day, just sleeps 3 or 4 hours, then jumps around again
It's puzzling and affects the adults' sleep
I hope all the doctors can give a diagnosis. Thank you very much!!!

Doctor's answer:

Hello, children of different ages need to ensure different amounts of sleep. If the total sleep time is less than 12 hours, it generally affects their growth and development. Most children who don't sleep well are usually because they haven't yet developed good sleep habits. Parents need to gradually help their children establish good sleep habits. Not sleeping doesn't mean they don't need sleep. It's best to use a fixed routine at a fixed time to put the child to sleep, and it will gradually improve. Since light sleep is also part of sleep time, it may not be calculated accurately. Monitor the child's growth and development carefully. If it's normal, it means the sleep time is sufficient.
