Hello dear Greetings
Requesting whether sleep disorder from father to children is genetic linked I will say Yes it is linked as an autosomal disorder

How you can get you other children that has sleep disorders to sleep along with you I will say pet them and read night stories to them

In a severe case you can visit the Emergency department for possible to recommend a mobile Automatic continous positive airway pressure

I hope this helps Regards
