Insomnia in children can be caused by various factors, including stress, anxiety, depression, or fear of the dark. Other potential causes include an inconsistent sleep routine, medical conditions like asthma or allergies, or the use of caffeine or electronic devices close to bedtime. A healthcare provider can help identify the specific cause and recommend appropriate treatment.

Most parents picture a crying baby when they think about kids and sleep problems. Many older kids and teens have problems sleeping too, including trouble going to sleep and waking up frequently in the middle of the night.
Unfortunately, not getting a good night's sleep can affect your child's mood and behavior during the day, leading to school and discipline problems.
