In daily life, children generally go to bed late. Like my two nephews get to bed around eleven o'clock at night. However, parents know that going to bed early is good for the baby's physical development, but if the baby does not go to sleep, adults have no way. Nevertheless, adults should also urge their babies to go to bed on time.
1. How much time does the child have to sleep?
Let's look at the table below
▼
Research data show that parents' genes determine 70% of their children's height, and the remaining 30% depends on the day after tomorrow. Among these 30% acquired factors, the impact of sleep is the most important. Because when sleeping, the body will secrete growth hormone to promote the baby's height development.
2. What time does the child sleep?
Let's look at another picture
The above figure clearly shows that when people sleep, the most secreted time periods of growth hormone are 21:00 to 1:00 and 5:00 to 7:00. Although growth hormone is secreted at other points in time, the amount of secretion is very small. And these two periods of time secretion is the most, is to promote height growth. Therefore, during these two times, it is best that the baby has already fallen asleep.
3, these two time periods are crucial for growing tall!
Although these two time periods are the time when the amount of growth hormone secretion is the most, there is an important condition for the secretion of growth hormone, that is, the baby has entered a deep sleep. That is to say, if around nine o'clock, the baby has not fallen asleep, or has just fallen asleep, growth hormone will not be secreted so much.
Therefore, the baby who sleeps late will have less growth hormone in the body, which is not conducive to the growth and development of height. However, the mother also wants to let the child go to bed half an hour or an hour in advance, so that at nine o'clock, the baby has entered a deep sleep state.
Of course, the baby should also get up early when he goes to bed early, and the morning wake-up time can be after 7 o'clock. Just enough to get your baby past the second small peak of growth hormone secretion.
4. How to let the child go to bed early?
Create a sleeping atmosphere at home
When it is almost time for the baby to go to bed, the adults in the family should turn off the TV, dim the lights, and stop all the sounds of discussion, take the baby into the room to prepare for sleep, and let the baby feel the atmosphere of sleeping.
Avoid brain excitement an hour before bedtime
After seven o'clock in the evening, adults can't take their children to play crazy. You should take your baby to some bedtime stories, listen to soothing music... Make your child's emotions slowly calm down and make it easier to fall asleep while sleeping.
In the morning, mom and dad also have to wake up after 7 o'clock. Because of the late rise during the day, the baby does not sleep much at night and sleeps unsteadily. Babies who don't sleep well at night have a bad mental state the next day, including attention, exercise, and memory.
Therefore, during the day, it is not advisable to let the baby sleep for more than three hours. Mom and Dad can artificially wake up their baby.
