Why children don’t sleep well

Is your child having trouble falling asleep, waking up in the middle of the night, having nightmares, or can’t sleep at all? All these variants of sleep disorders have the same internal cause: inner Unruhe, Stress, Ängste Stress hormones are what keep us awake at night.

Die Sehnsucht nach tiefem Schlaf ist schon deshalb so groß, weil wir diesen Gegenpol dringend brauchen in einer Welt, in der es ziemlich chaotisch zugeht – wie in unseren Köpfen: Wir können nicht mehr abschalten, werden bis in den Schlaf verfolgt von unserem Stress. Deshalb suchen wir nach Ruheinseln, wo wir Sicherheit, Geborgenheit und Frieden erleben und endlich loslassen können. Auch Kinder sind tagtäglich sogenannten Stressoren – also triggers for stress – on a daily basis: teasing in kindergarten, homework or exams at school, the Corona pandemic.

All this can cause stress and fear in children, leading to sleep disorders. You certainly know this yourself. Speaking in front of larger groups has been difficult for many of us since school. Presentations have caused discomfort and stomach aches and we would have preferred to stay in bed in the morning.
