In such a situation, prayer is considered the only salvation from insomnia for a child.

Prayer for a good baby sleep to the Guardian Angel of the child
Some people believe that every person has their own Guardian Angel from birth. Therefore, if any problems occur with a child - illness, insomnia, it is best to seek help from the Guardian Angel. Some people attribute this to the fact that God is one for all and is simply not able to help everyone, but the Guardian Angel is responsible for only one person, so it is more likely that he will help.
Prayer to the Guardian Angel of the child to sleep well, sounds like this:
“Divine Angel, Guardian of my child (the name of the baby is indicated), cover him with your shield from demonic arrows, from the sugary seducer, keep his heart pure and bright. Amen.”

"My protector, my Guardian Angel. Do not leave me in difficult times, save me from evil and envious people. Hide me from the hating people. Save me from the evil eye and damage. Have mercy on me Amen.”
According to the statements of the ministers of the church, a prayer sounding from the mouth of a child will have greater power than it is from the mouth of the mother of the baby to his Guardian Angel.
Prayer for a childslept well at night, Matrona
According to the opinion of a large number of priests, if there are any problems with the he alth of the child (including the appearance of insomnia), you should immediately pray to the Holy Matrona. It is she who is considered an ambulance on a large number of issues. To enhance the effect of prayer, it is recommended to buy at least a small icon with the face of this Saint. And in order to protect your child from the evil eye, it is recommended to sew a piece of incense into his clothes, which will need to be changed periodically.

He got rid of various ailments both in the body and in the soul. Take away all diseases from his body. Please forgive me for all my sins, both those created by my will and those not created by my will. Say a prayer to the Lord for the he alth of my child (the name of the child is indicated).

Save them from disease, heal their bodies and souls. Keep their souls pure. We worship your holy icon, and also sincerely love the Most Holy Trinity - the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.”
Prayer for a peaceful children's sleep, addressed to the Mother of God and the Lord God
When a child has a disrupted schedule, namely, he sleeps during the day and not at night, then you definitely need to do something. Going to the doctors is expensive, and they are unlikely to help in this situation. The best option would be to do it on your own. In this case, the prayer said at night before going to bed to the Mother of God and the Lord God will help. Prayer sounds like this:
“Lord God, show your mercy on my child (name), save the child under your banner, hide from various temptations, drive away various enemies from him, close their evil eyes and ears, give them humility and kindness.

Thank you Lord.”

Features of reading a prayer to improve children's sleep
Prayer at night for a child must be read from memory, if you do not know the words, appeal to the saints or to the Lord, then you can not expect an ambulance from them (quick help comes only to sincere believers). During the pronunciation of the appeal, you need to be in a calm emotional state and you need to constantly think about what you want to receive. If at the time of the pronunciation of the prayer a person does not really believe in the result, then it is better to postpone its pronunciation until a later time.
When asking for help in improving children's sleep, you must ask for forgiveness for all the sins you have committed. This is due to the fact that a thin thread stretches between the mother and the child, and therefore all the sins of the parent are reflected on the baby. If, while saying a prayer, the mother of the crumbs sincerely repents of all her sins and mistakes, then they will definitely respond to the petition.
Prayer at night before going to bed should be whispered and in the child's ear. Such words can save the baby from negatively colored dreams.
Reciting a self-invented prayer
It is important to note that when addressing the Lord or other saints, it is not words that are important, but sincerity. A prayer for a child to sleep can sound in his own words, most importantly, with faith and from the bottom of his heart. It doesn’t have to be pathetic words, it’s enough to state a request, repent of your own sins and thank the Lord for listening to you.
