Finding The Root Cause Of Children’s Chronic Sleep Issues

Let’s face it, parents that have children that have sleep issues– they’re exhausted. They’re often groggy the next day or cranky when you try to get them ready for school. It’s a challenging time for these parents. I know I’ve been there myself.

So in this video, I like to help you get to some of the root causes of children’s chronic sleep issues and give you some helpful advice regarding that.

The conventional approach to this when the child is having sleep issues is to help the child stay asleep and get to sleep well. It’s double trouble for the family. So often, parents institute a regular bedtime schedule for the children and then the kids stay up later.

Later in the evening, parents can’t rest and get some downtime for themselves. And the parents give up and just let the child end up going to bed later on in the evenings.

Perhaps that means that parents have zero time for themselves. And they may also have to be dealing with their sleep issues and interruptions when the child wakes up in the middle of the night and wakes him up as well.

So typically, with the sleep schedule, the children wake up groggy. They are grouchy. Mood swings in the mornings, and it’s twice as difficult to get them up and motivated to start their day.

So many times parents turn to their pediatrician to be told to send them to bed earlier or read them more bedtime stories or give them a warm bath. And you’ve tried all these things all along, already.

So first of all, our sleep is greatly affected by what we eat. A lot of things that we are putting in and on our bodies can be hormone disruptors, and it makes us feel drained and makes the children more hyper in the evenings.

There’s a lot of toxic ingredients in our everyday products. Parents have to keep this on the radar for things like pesticides, herbicides, heavy metals in our environment, toxins in our food and our water, and the products that we use every day.

These things are cumulative. Also, there are hormone disruptors and things that are affecting our sleep rhythm, our circadian rhythm, is affected and impacted by the sleep hormone-like melatonin, which can be thrown out of whack easily by what we eat because Melatonin is made in your gut.

Children have problems with their hormones and even neurotransmitters that are manufactured in our gut also are being affected by our nutrition or not.
