It is often found that after 11 o'clock in the evening, there are still people in the circle of friends who are playing happily in bed, and it turns out that children are like parents, and they do not sleep so late.
Many young parents themselves are night owls, so they do not pay much attention to their children's late sleep. Therefore, we should seriously point out the harm caused by late sleep to children.
1. Children who do not have enough sleep do not grow tall
Don't say that most of the height is related to genetics, many parents are tall, but the children are significantly below the standard line because they sleep less. Moreover, the Ministry of Education has conducted a survey of third-grade primary school students and found that the average height standard of primary school students is not as good as one year. This is mostly because the primary school is stressful, there is a lot of homework, and the children often do it in the middle of the night, and it is difficult to sleep well.
The long-term lack of sleep is an overstimulation of the body, which will trigger the body's stress response, thereby inducing a large number of adrenal glands to secrete adrenaline. Adrenaline is a stress hormone that inhibits pituitary gland function and reduces the secretion of growth hormone, so that children do not grow tall.
2. Sleeping late will affect the heart and cannot be ignored
Also, don't watch your child get excited. However, he still has an excessive stress reaction of not being able to sleep. In fact, they are very tired, and they will also behave irritable, irritable, difficult to calm, and may not be able to sleep, the more excited they are.
In the long run, their blood pressure, breathing, and heartbeat will accelerate, and cardiovascular diseases such as heart valve prolapse are likely to occur. Don't think this is serious, because many problems are not reflected until the age of thirty-five. Because of the habits developed at an early age, it is difficult to change them in adulthood.
3. Sleeping late can cause precocious puberty in children
As you might not imagine, sleeping late not only inhibits growth hormone activity, but also stimulates hormone secretion and affects the pituitary gland's normal regulation of sex hormones, which is why many children who are not tall also have precocious puberty.
In summary, the harm of sleeping late to children cannot be underestimated, and I hope to attract the attention of parents.
For the health of children, the principles we need to adhere to are:
1. Must sleep at the specified time
Many parents have a misunderstanding that their children will consciously sleep when they are tired of playing. But in fact, before going to bed, it should not be too excited, not only is it difficult to fall asleep, but it is not easy to sleep deeply. Can dream, even dream. Because it was too much fun during the day.
The right thing to do is not to give your child too much food after 3 p.m., and dinner is simple. Have your child go to bed early, tell a story, read a book, or watch TV for a while. Lights must be turned off by 9 p.m. Deep sleep at 9:30.
The ideal routine is to go to sleep contentedly and wake up contentedly the next morning.
And this kind of routine is basically according to adults. If the adult is a late sleeper, the child usually does not go to bed too early. Therefore, the child's habits are assisted by adults. Go to bed with your child and soothe his emotions until he falls asleep naturally.
Of course, a good routine can not be cultivated in one day, the process is difficult, so parents need to adhere to it for a long time.
2. Parents must adjust their own schedules first
In addition to some night owl type parents, there are many parents who do not intend to let their children sleep late, but the environment does not allow it. For example, parents who need to work overtime come home very late, but the child wants to wait for the parents to come back to sleep, no matter which case, for them, most of the reasons are to spend more parent-child time with the child, so they are reluctant to let the child fall asleep too early. Because the next morning, I had to leave the children again to go to work.
Sometimes parents are also very troubled, after the child goes to kindergarten, the time that can accompany him is only a few hours at night. But more important than parent-child time is the health of the child. Therefore, it is also a kind of happiness to let the child sleep a little longer and watch his sweet smile in his sleep.
