After resuming sleep, they wake up without remembering what happened. During the day, their mental state is good, and it does not affect their appetite.

Currently, they are under observation. They wish to inquire about how to check and treat this condition.

Doctor's answer:
Precautions for Insomnia: It is important to appropriately alleviate your tension during the day. You can eat some millet porridge or warm milk (drunk half an hour before bed), take a warm bath in the evening, which helps improve sleep. It is also essential to maintain a regular sleep schedule and try to go to bed before 10 PM to avoid disrupting your biological clock. Develop good sleep habits and engage in moderate exercise to strengthen physical fitness. Since this is a neurological disorder, it is recommended to undergo an FNS examination and receive treatment using medical devices.Lifestyle Care: Consuming a small amount of food before bed, such as milk or foods rich in carbonated compounds, can promote sleep. Regular physical exercise also enhances deep sleep at night. Experts suggest that scheduling exercise at a fixed time before 6 PM is an excellent measure for children's sleep health.
