Gu Ailing once shared his secret:
"Sleep is my 'secret weapon'
From childhood to sleep 10 hours a night,
Now too. ”
"From 8 to 14 years old,
I've only been skiing on weekends.
And I can be older than those who are older.

It's ten hours of sleep a day.

According to the physical and mental development characteristics of students of different ages, primary school students should sleep 10 hours a day, junior high school students should reach 9 hours, and high school students should reach 8 hours.
Children lack of sleep, the harm is really great
1. The impact grows tall
A very critical hazard of staying up late is to affect the child's development, which is easy to make the child grow tall. Because the factors that affect the growth and development of children are not only genetic factors, nutritional conditions, exercise, etc., but also related to the amount of growth hormone.
At night, when the child secretes growth hormone at the highest, if the child does not rest at this time, it will affect the secretion of growth hormone. If you can go to sleep early, then more growth hormone is secreted. By getting enough sleep every day, your child can grow taller. Therefore, for children, developing the habit of going to bed early is especially important for physical development.
2. Reduces the body's immunity
While children stay up late, their body organs are also staying up late. For example, the child's heart and brain, which are still in the stage of development, are always overloaded with work, and it is easy to leave hidden dangers.
Therefore, if there is often insufficient sleep, the child's physical resistance will be weakened, resulting in symptoms such as no appetite and poor spirits.
3. Influence the brain's creative thinking
If the child does not have enough sleep, then the child's attention can not be fully concentrated, when the body does not rest, the child's brain cells can not be rested, so that the child in the case of lack of sleep, will affect the development of brain power.
And if the child stays up late at night and sleeps enough, he will have insufficient energy during class, which will affect his academic performance.
4. Affect mental health
If your child does not get enough sleep, he will be prone to tantrums. In the case of lack of sleep in the morning, there will also be getting up, and it is more serious, so that the child will lie in bed and it is more difficult to wake up. Children will have low mood, easy to be anxious, nervous and other bad psychological conditions, and in severe cases, even suffer from autism, which will affect the child's mental health.
How can I help my child "get a good night's sleep"?
The formation of children's good habits, in the end, the guidance of parents is the key, parents procrastinate at night, chase drama and stay up late, and do not arrange children, children naturally do not sleep. If you wash your child on time, tell bedtime stories, and turn off the lights to sleep, your child will also be on time.
If you want your child to sleep well, parents may wish to try these methods!
1. Help your child build a sense of falling asleep ritually
When it is time to go to bed, parents should dim the lights, turn off electronic devices, and create a quiet family atmosphere. Parents try not to let their children play with their mobile phones before going to bed, because the blue light on the screen will affect the secretion of melatonin, which greatly disturbs the biological clock.
It is best to set up a "bedtime program", such as bathing, touching, pulling curtains, saying goodnight, etc., because the child's body needs these signals to calm down and remind yourself that "I am going to sleep after doing these things".
2. Help your child build a belief: The bed can only be a place to sleep
Many family beds take on too many functions, in addition to sleeping, or building blocks, study platforms, trampolines, slides and so on. In this way, the child wants to do something more after going to bed, and refuses to fall asleep for a long time.
Therefore, try not to pile up debris on the bed, let alone let the child play in the bed, help the child to carry out "situational training" with the bed - as long as he gets to the bed, he will produce the conditioned reflex of "I want to be quiet and ready to sleep", which is more conducive to falling asleep as soon as possible.
3. Try to fix the sleep time
Children who go to bed early and get up early generally do not have emotional manifestations. Many parents will say: Oh, he just doesn't sleep, how can I let him sleep and he doesn't sleep?
It's hard for you to just move your mouth. Parents are best to do a series of more rhythmic work for their children before falling asleep to gradually lead their children to sleep. One thing that must be clear is that the child does not have to sleep when he is tired, but must sleep when the time comes. For example, if you decide to sleep at 20:00, you must go to bed at 19:30, and parents should try to adjust the pace of life to this time.
4. Firmly enforce your sleep rules
Once the sleep rules are established, the parent's execution is more important than the child's compliance.
It is not recommended to ignore the child's sleep time when going on vacation and arbitrarily modifying sleep habits because of the child's needs. Some children can't sleep after lying in bed, and they will get up or run out from time to time for these reasons: "I want to drink water." "I want to go to the bathroom again." "I have a good idea, do you want to listen?"
In this case, parents can make some "permission tickets" for their children, such as the right to use only three "permission tickets" after going to bed every night, and each request will be used up until it is used up. In general, most children can abide by such a game-like convention.
5. Sleep quality is more important than duration
For children, sleep quality is more important than duration, and good sleep habits benefit for a lifetime.
Many children sleep more during the winter and summer holidays, but why do they look more listless and tired? Mainly because of the increase in holiday activities and electronic devices, the time to fall asleep is delayed and the stimulation of the brain is increased, which affects the time and quality of the arrival of deep sleep. So quality sleep is more important than adequate time.
Good sleep is not only beneficial
Healthy growth of children
It can also help the development of children's bones
Recovery of physical strength
Be sure to say goodbye to staying up late
May every child stay at night and night
Sleep well every day
