Unless there is obstruction of the upper respiratory tract via secretions or else, most common cause of sleeplessness is disturbances in accomodation with the surrounding most likely.
A detailed physical examination with pediatrician and following guidelines of burping after feeding, postural adjustments, room temperature, light intensity are basic issues to be discussed during doc visit.
