National girlfriend Gu Ailing, everyone has been tired of exaggerating these two days
The WeChat group discussed the parenting secret of "other people's child ceiling" for several days, and the only one that was discussed was worthy of emulation by all ordinary parents, that is—
Go to bed.
How much does Gu Yan care about the child's sleep?
In the "People" special article, Gu Ailing refers to her mother as a "sleep policeman" because her mother urges her to sleep every day.
Gu Yan also admitted frankly in the interview:
"My education for Gu Ailing is, first, to sleep more; second, to study more; third, to play more."
Is sleep really that important?
still! true! Yes!
How important is sleep
Our children's skiing is estimated to be difficult to compare with love sauce, but sleep can be.
Do you know what the effects of lack of sleep per day have?
The most intuitive, to show you the following picture.
This is a British experimental study that compared the difference between 8 hours of sleep and 6 hours of sleep per day for a 46-year-old woman.
In addition to the decline in appearance, sleep deprivation also has a side effect that makes all parents feel frightened - becoming stupid.
Ever feel that after staying up late, your brain usually feels like a paste, and the thoughts of one second cannot be remembered the next?
In fact, it is because the brain is stuffed with too much garbage and has not been cleaned up in time.
TED has a talk about how getting enough sleep can help us weed out the garbage of our brains.
Only when the body rests, the cerebrospinal fluid in the brain will begin to function, giving our brains a "big clean", and cleaning up the "garbage" produced by our brains during the sleep phase.
When you're sleep deprived, the hippocampus, which is responsible for memory, refuses to receive "new information."
So don't think that your child will learn well if he learns late. When children are not sleep-deprived, in fact, the learning efficiency is very low, and good sleep is the most scientific and effective means of brain supplementation at present.
"Haidian mother ceiling" Gu Yan said that the parenting secret is sleep, and it is really not Versailles
More than half of children in mainland China do not sleep long enough
Since sleep is so important to children, what is the current situation of children in mainland China?
According to the "2019 China Adolescents and Children's Sleep Index White Paper" data shows:
Among the primary school students, 40.2% slept more than 9 hours, 32.2% slept less than 8 hours, and the average sleep time was 8.45 hours, which means that 6 out of 10 primary school students were sleep deprived.
Among the middle school students, only 18.9% slept more than 8 hours, up to 59.4% slept less than 7 hours, and the average sleep time was only 6.82 hours, which means that at least 8 out of 10 middle school students were sleep-deprived.
A survey in the China National Mental Health Development Report (2019-2020) shows that:
"The phenomenon of sleep deprivation in Chinese adolescents and children continues to worsen, with 95.5% of primary school students, 90.8% of junior high school students and 84.1% of high school students not sleeping up to the standard."
Among the causes of children's lack of sleep, schoolwork pressure accounts for 67.3%, which has become the first factor affecting children's sleep.
Both are reduced, everyone let go of the child.
As Feng Jianfeng, dean of the Institute of Brain-like Artificial Intelligence Science and Technology of Fudan University, said at the "2021 World Artificial Intelligence Conference": It really doesn't hurt to let children sleep more!
