Laughs at night time without reason

2021-05-06 18:08:30
I have a baby girl 18months old , from past 2-3 days she is laughing at night time without any reason. Looking over something and laughs. For 20-30 minutes. Is it concerning ? I know this might sound stupid but , I read online that they can see if we lost our near ones? I lost my father 2 weeks back. Can that be a reason.
