What are the reasons why children cry and toss and turn at night?

Patient's question:

When the child was younger, their sleep was quite good, but recently, for some unknown reason, the child has been restless at night, tossing and turning. I would like to understand what causes children to toss and turn when they sleep at night.

Doctor's answer:

Children experiencing poor nighttime sleep is generally related to calcium deficiency. Calcium deficiency can affect the quality of nighttime sleep, leading to frequent waking and restlessness. In this case, calcium supplementation can be considered. First, medication can be used, and it's also important to pay attention to diet, consuming more calcium-rich foods. Additionally, engaging in outdoor activities and getting regular sun exposure can help improve the situation. A lighter diet is recommended, including mushrooms, leafy greens, kiwi, and mango to boost immunity.
