To identify the underlying causes, sleep deprivation may result from physiological factors such as depression or insomnia, or from external factors such as environmental noise, family conflicts, or academic pressure. If external factors are responsible, proactive measures should be taken—such as improving the home environment and reducing family conflicts; alleviating children's academic pressure and helping them develop effective study methods; and enhancing the sleep environment by minimizing external noise to ensure better conditions for restful sleep.
