Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. From the provided information, your child sleeps only 3 to 4 hours in a day. Two hours at night and two afternoon. That is not a healthy practice. You are pointing this happens since one year. I suggest you to consult a child specialist for advise. There could not be anything physically wrong. She must have become habituated with the sleep pattern. You may have to provide her with some positive training. After consulting a child specialist to clear physiological angle, you should get advise from a psychologist for sleep pattern training.
