There are so many things that can cause this, from behavioral problems to a physical disorder.

Too many to make a guess.

I would recommend seeing a pediatrician who is also a sleep specialist. Check with your local sleep labs, many have one on board. He may refer you to a pediatric psychologist who is also a sleep specialist, depends on medical history, etc. Or he may need to investigate sleep disorders, etc., the list goes on. It is the place to start.

Best wishes,
Sandman
