Hello
Welcome here.
I can understand your concerns for your son.

Sleep is a very essential phenomenon to maintain good health.

Lifestyle modifications are very much required for your son.

Give him green leafy vegetables and fruits.

A glass of warm milk at bedtime and a warm water bath will help for better sleep.

Relaxation exercises like deep breathing will reduce his stress levels.

Drugs like klonopin (prescription drugs) can help to reduce anxiety and induce sleep.

Hope this helps.
Thanks.
