Hi, Strocit (citicholine) is a medication that is commonly used to treat various neurological conditions, such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, and cognitive impairment. It works by increasing the levels of a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine in the brain, which is involved in cognitive function and memory. While sleeplessness is not a common side effect of Strocit, it may cause sleep disturbances in some individuals. In particular, citicholine has been reported to increase alertness and wakefulness in some studies, which may interfere with sleep if taken at night. If your kid s cousin is experiencing sleeplessness after taking Strocit, it is important to talk to his doctor. The doctor may recommend adjusting the timing of the medication to earlier in the day or reducing the dosage. It is also important to make sure that he is getting adequate sleep, as lack of sleep can hurt his cognitive function and overall health. If he is required to wake up early for school, it may be helpful to establish a regular sleep schedule and bedtime routine to help him fall asleep more easily at night. This may include avoiding stimulating activities such as using electronic devices before bed, creating a comfortable sleep environment, and engaging in relaxing activities such as reading or listening to calming music before bed. In summary, while Strocit is not commonly associated with sleeplessness, it may cause sleep disturbances in some individuals. It is important to talk to his doctor if he is experiencing sleeplessness after taking the medication and to establish a regular sleep schedule and bedtime routine to promote healthy sleep habits.
