Need to consult with your pediatrician for evaluation of the child
Yes. Lifestyle measures such as having a set evening routine without TV/computer are very important. Melatonin supplement given early in the evening (6-8pm) is usually effective as well.
YES! Its a broad question but it can! Read Richard Ferber's book, Solving my child's sleep problem" as a start and reach out to your PCP or sleep doctor
