My child has always been a wonderful sleeper, but for the past 4 weeks or so, my child has only been sleeping 4-6 hrs a night. We took alway her naps, and she is still only sleeping 4-6 hrs. I have tried to sleep with her the past 2 nights, and I noticed she has involuntary movements while she is in the stage of "almost asleep" that will wake her back up. Then she will read or play with her hair, almost fall asleep, have the same movements, and repeat the process. Today she has been up since 3:15 and I could tell it's bothering her since she is tired and wants to sleep. We have an EEG scheduled in a few days. We have never been the type of parents to have our children sleep with us, so this has been the first time I have slept with her in her bed. Who knows how long she has been having these movements. Has anyone ever had these types of issues or has their children? She's only two and should be sleeping much longer.

Yes she does need her sleep. Call the pediatrician before the EEG. He may decide to do more tests or atleast this will give him one more piece of the puzzle.

She's not sleeping long enough. Kids need at LEAST 10 hrs. of sleep a day.
