SLEEPTIME

SLEEP TIMEThe most important thing for a baby to grow is sleep. Inadequate sleep can have serious consequences for the body and the brain, so it is important to get enough sleep. But in reality, even if you are forced to go to bed early, you will not get much sleep. In fact, dealing with sleep deprivation is more important than getting to bed early.「The best time for a baby to sleep 」According to the US State Sleep Foundation, the amount of sleep a child needs is as follows:From birth to 3 months: 14 ~ 17 hours4 months to 11 months: 12 ~ 15 hoursFrom 1 year to 2 years: 11 ~ 14 hoursFrom 3 to 5 years: 11 ~ 13 hoursFrom 6 ~ 13 years old: 9 ~ 13 hoursFrom 14 to 17 years: 8 ~ 10 hoursMore sleep than you think, isn't it?If you think about the 11 ~ 13 hours of 3- to 5-year-olds, you can not wake up at 7 in the morning and not be able to sleep at 8 o'clockWhat are the consequences of not getting enough sleep for children?「Effects on the body」It is less likely to form bones and bodies.During sleep, the baby's brain produces growth hormones. Insufficient sleep reduces the production of growth hormone because growth hormone promotes bone and body growth.「Decreased alertness and concentration 」Inadequate sleep reduces attention and concentration. Probably a factor as to why they're doing so poorly in school. In addition, poor attention and focus have led to an increase in injuries and accidents.「It's easy to get frustrated 」If sleep deprivation persists, the brain may not be able to rest properly, which can lead to depression. Inadequate sleep can lead to a decrease in concentration, worsening scores, inability to do more than expected, and possibly leading to bad habits associated with depression.Since children can not adjust their schedule, parents may need to adjust the time, such as setting aside time for dinner and watching TV. Parents can set a daily schedule for their children so that they can get a good night's sleep.
