Treatment:

Insomnia can be attributed by changing the sleep pattern. You should keep a fixed time for the sleep of your kid and follow the routine strictly on a daily basis. Also, consult a doctor and try to find out the number of hours of sleep for your kid as per his or her age. If the child sleeps in the day, encourage him or her to sleep in the night.

There should be no noise or any disturbance in the child's room when the kid is sleeping. There should be right temperature and less light. The bed should be comfortable and there should be no disturbance for the child.

Suggest deep breathing exercises for the child for a good sleep. Pranayama and others can help them big time. Sleeping after taking bath with hot water should be made as a habit. Allow the kid to watch cartoons before the sleep. This will keep their mind active for a long time. Also motivate the kid for outdoor games.
