Doctor's answer:
During the day, encourage your child to engage in more physical activity. Sometimes, insufficient exercise during the day can disrupt deep sleep at night. The midday nap time can be appropriately extended. At night, try to put your child to bed as early as possible. If they always stay up late, it will interfere with their growth and development. Before the nap, avoid letting your child play too actively to reduce their excitement. Create a calm and comfortable atmosphere. Before bed, you can sing songs, read poems, or tell stories to your child to establish routines and habits, which will help them fall asleep more easily. Additionally, it is recommended that you spend more time with your child. Sometimes, due to adults working during the day, the child may only have time for closeness with their parents at night, which can also lead to later bedtimes. In summary, you need to find the reasons why your child stays up late and has poor quality deep sleep, and then take the above measures.
