Sleeping at night is important for baby growth!

Nowadays, many parents after 80 and 90 have "sleeping syndrome". Unconsciously, this habit has slowly infiltrated into the child's life. In this regard, parents should be vigilant, because enough sleep is one of the prerequisites for the child's growth and healthy growth.

Sleeping late brings harm to children, which parents can't imagine. A large number of scientists have discovered that sleep affects children's cardiovascular health, brain, learning and behavioral patterns.

Late sleep affects child height

Studies have shown that 70% of a child's height depends on the parental gene, and 30% depends on the day after tomorrow. Among these 30% external factors, sleep has the highest impact on height, beyond exercise and diet.

This is because growth hormone is secreted during sleep. Growth hormone is secreted by the pituitary gland. However, the pituitary gland has a large amount of work a day. In addition to secreting growth hormone, it also secretes various hormones required by the body such as sex hormones and adrenocorticotropic hormones, because it is too busy. So it is not secreting growth hormone 24 hours a day.

The pituitary gland secretes growth hormone mainly at night, and the more it is secreted, the more it helps to grow. The two periods of maximum growth hormone secretion are 21:00-1:00 and 5:00-7:00. However, it is not until 9 pm, when growth hormone begins to be secreted in large quantities on time, and its secretion must have a premise: it only occurs during deep sleep. People usually go into deep sleep after half an hour to an hour after falling asleep.

Therefore, if the child has not gone to bed at 9 o'clock, or has already gone to bed but has not fallen asleep, or has fallen asleep but has not yet entered deep sleep, the amount of growth hormone secretion will be greatly reduced, thus affecting the care of themselves. Height.

Sleeping late hurts the heart of the child

Children who are not getting enough sleep will have excessive stress. They will feel tired due to lack of sleep. They will be irritable, violent, difficult to calm down, and even show excessive stress response that they can't sleep. The more they sleep, the more they feel. The more excited.

Emotional excitement, blood pressure, breathing, heartbeat will accelerate, if the state of excessive excitement over the years, cardiovascular disease, such as heart valve prolapse. Therefore, if you let your child sleep late or have a bad sleep habit, it is equivalent to planting seeds for cardiovascular disease.

Sleeping late can easily lead to obesity in children

When we eat enough, our fat cells produce leptin, which sends a signal to the brain to stop eating. When there is insufficient sleep, even if it is only one night, the body's ghrelin will increase and inhibit the secretion of leptin. Therefore, those who do not get sleep are more likely to become obese.

In addition, if the child has insufficient rest and lack of energy, he is more inclined to sit still and lack of exercise, which will only make the body more unhealthy.

Children who sleep late often have a cold

During the sleep phase, both children and adults produce proteins called cytokines, and our bodies rely on these proteins to fight infections, diseases and stress. It also helps our body to rest, enabling our body to be able to heal itself. Lack of sleep affects the number of these cytokines and affects the immune system, increasing the likelihood of catching colds and infectious diseases.

Late sleep affects children's memory

An experiment was conducted at Harvard Medical School in the United States. 28 volunteers were randomly divided into two groups. The first group was allowed to sleep for two days and one night, while the second group was normally asleep. In the tests that were conducted later, the volunteers wanted to browse and remember a large number of slide images.

Next, all the experimenters slept normally for two nights and took the second test, which was to find the images that they had viewed in the first test in a large number of images.

Experiments have shown that those with irregular sleep have far less memory than normal sleep. Therefore, children sleeping early and developing good sleep habits will help the brain to run smoothly, have good memory, and do more with less.

As can be seen from the above, the harm that late sleep brings to children is unimaginable. Let us look at the following table again:

The above picture shows that preschool children of school-age children should guarantee 10 to 13 hours of sleep, and school-age children should have 9 to 11 hours of sleep per day. Therefore, the best sleep time for children is 8:30 in the evening, and no more than 9 at the latest. It is best to get up in the morning after 7:00.

Many mothers complained that it is the nature of children to love to play. At night, children are not willing to go to bed. What should I do?

Children's good sleep habits do not develop automatically and must rely on adults to develop for them.

Parents are the key

The formation of good habits of children, after all, the guidance of parents is the key. In a family, the child begins to be born, and his habits are not affected by the person who cares for his daily life.

Many parents are dragging their feet at night, or are busy with work, addicted to chasing dramas, and forget to arrange children for a while. If the parents wash the child on time, tell the bedtime story, and then turn off the lights on time, the child will do it seriously.

Therefore, no matter when, parents should first let go of the things at hand and accompany their children to sleep. Wait until the child is asleep, and then do your own thing, is it more convenient and more secure? This will not disrupt the child's work.

Create a strong sleep atmosphere

If the family is used to sleeping late, the sound of the TV and the conversation will come and go, and the children will of course be affected, without any sleepiness. Rui Ma suggested that when it is time to sleep, it is best to create a quiet and warm sleeping atmosphere for the children.

You can dim the lights, turn off the TV, and the adults don't chat, and accompany the children to sleep if needed. Even if parents are not sleepy, they can get up and go back to their room to do their own thing after taking care of their children, but don't disturb the children who have fallen asleep.

Avoid brain excitement after sleeping for an hour

It is best not to let your child touch TV, computer, mobile phone and other electronic products after sleeping for an hour, because these are easy to make children addicted. Some children play computer and mobile games, and they can't sleep if they can't pass. And these are very easy to make your child's brain excited.

Adults need to spend more time thinking about trying to form a fixed pattern, such as telling children about bedtime stories, listening to soothing music, appeasing children's emotions, and creating a quiet and peaceful bedtime environment for children to know. After you have calmed down, you should sleep.
