How to treat sleep disorders in children?

Patient's question:

The child is still quite young, and at first we didn't pay too much attention. Recently, we've noticed that the problem is becoming increasingly severe. Not only does the child grind their teeth at night, but they also talk in their sleep. I've heard that this can affect the child's development. How should pediatric sleep disorders be treated effectively?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your symptoms, if the child has difficulty falling asleep, he can first go to the hospital to check the level of trace elements to determine if there is a deficiency in trace calcium. When the child lacks calcium, it will be difficult to fall asleep. If it is necessary to reduce calcium intake, then some calcium-containing oral liquids should be used, or some calcium-containing foods, such as bone soup, walnut milk, etc., can be used to achieve the effect of calcium supplementation.
