Sleeping disorder in my 2.5 yr child.

Question

Asked for Female, 27 Years

Hello doctor......Hello doctor.....My daughter is 2.5 years old. She sleeps very little. She goes to sleep at 12 o'clock at night but wakes up at 2 o'clock. Then she does not sleep. I try to make her sleep forcibly but she starts crying. Then she sleeps at 5 o'clock in the morning and wakes up at 9-10 o'clock. Is there any problem with her? She sleeps only for 2 hours during day.
