Sleep disturbance: There are sleep disorder clinics or specialists that can help you avoid depending upon sleeping pills. In the meantime, avoid eating for 2 hours before bedtime, avoiding caffeine after the morning, avoid exercising in the evening,avoid alcoholic beverages later at night which put you to sleep only to awaken in a few hours when the alcohol wears off.

Why does my 9-year-old wake up around 1-5 AM already for weeks. She usually falls back asleep between 30 min-5 hours. Sometimes stays up all night. She keeps waking me up and neither of us is getting enough sleep. How to deal with it? Is it insomnia?
