Yes, children can experience insomnia, which is characterized by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early. If your daughter has been struggling to sleep for two days, it might be helpful to consult a pediatrician to rule out any underlying causes and receive guidance on managing her sleep issues.
Yes they definitely can. See a sleep specialist
