A member asked:
Is it possible for a two year old to be insomnic? my son wakes up in the middle of the night and stays up all night.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many reasons: There could be a number of reasons for your toddlers poor sleep habits. We all wake up many times a night, but our body realizes it is not time to get up, so we self soothe ourselves back to sleep. Your child is having difficulty doing this. It could be something medical, or could be something psychological like nightmares or separation anxiety. There are great pediatricians at mcow/chow to help!
