called sleep apnea. This is when a child has fifteen second pauses between breathing followed by a real loud catch up breath. Another clue to this disorder, is your child being very tired the next morning.
The most common cause of sleep apnea in children is enlarged tonsils that are blocking the airways. So you probably will need medical attention to solve the problem. If you suspect nasal allergies to be the cause, the best thing you can do is make sure the nose is clean before bedtime. A steamy bath and hair washing will both open up the nasal passages and remove any allergens. You may also want to spritz saline solution to keep the nose moist. You could also try make the child sleep on his side to see if that prevents his tongue from interfering with his breathing.
