Does poor nutrition and lack of sleep cause a small head circumference?

It can: Luis, I assume you are talking about a child? If so, poor nutrition can lead to slower growth, causing a smaller head circumference. Consult your pediatrician, and follow their nutritional guidelines to better assist your child's growth. Hope this helps!

Unlikely the issue: Head size is usually determined by genetic factors from one or both parents..In some, brain abnormalities or syndromes that result in poor development of the brain structures will result in less natural push to create a larger skull.These patients are significantly impaired.
