Why can't I sleep soundly?

Sleep quality is very important for people of all ages. If there is a problem of lack of sleep, it is likely to affect a person's judgment and thinking ability, which will have a great impact on a person's work and life. Therefore, sufficient sleep and good sleep quality are very necessary. So, why do many people have trouble falling asleep?

1. Improper diet

Insufficient intake. The baby is hungry, such as insufficient breast milk, failure to add formula milk in time, or insufficient complementary food.

Too much intake. The baby eats too much, especially when adding complementary foods for the first time, if the principle of from less to more, from thin to thick, from fine to coarse, from one type to many is not followed, and the baby is fed too hastily, which causes indigestion and abdominal distension.

Food is too cold. Some mothers feed their babies milk at night, but because the water temperature is not high enough, the babies experience gastrointestinal discomfort after drinking the milk. However, there is no obvious bloating or diarrhea, which can easily be ignored by the mothers.

The food preparation is unreasonable. If the formula is too concentrated or too sweet, the baby will feel uncomfortable in the stomach after drinking it.

2. Environmental factors

Loud noise. For example, if your neighbor is renovating, or the TV or karaoke speakers are too loud, etc.

Indoor humidity is too high or too low. Normal humidity should be maintained at around 55~60%. If the air is too dry, the baby's nasal mucosa will become dry, which is not conducive to breathing and affects sleep.

The indoor temperature is too high or too low. Regardless of spring, summer, autumn or winter, the temperature in the baby's sleeping environment is generally around 24 to 28 degrees Celsius, otherwise the baby will easily become restless.

The light is too strong. If the curtains are not light-blocking or the baby sleeps with the lights on, it will often make the baby sleep uneasily.

The smell is too strong. If the room is not ventilated for a long time or the smell of various cosmetics or mold is too strong, it will cause adverse stimulation to the baby.

3. Improper care

Inappropriate clothing. The baby is dressed too much when sleeping and the underwear is not soft.

The quilt is too thick or too thin.

The baby is too excited or tired during the day, watches scary movies or TV at night, is frightened or bullied.

The diaper was wet and was not changed in time.

Bad sleeping habits. Such as sleeping in the arms, sleeping with a nipple in the mouth, sleeping with the baby, etc.

4. Disease Factors

Rickets. Due to lack of vitamin D, the baby's calcium and phosphorus metabolism is impaired. In the early stages, symptoms include irritability, fright, and sweating.

eczema. It is a common allergic rash in babies, which affects their sleep due to the extreme itching.

Otitis media. Disturbed sleep due to ear pain and discomfort.
