Sleep is the most important thing for babies after birth.
Newborns spend most of their time sleeping throughout the day. And the elderly often say "sleep more, grow tall", let the baby sleep more, but also conducive to their physical development.
They are able to rest their brains while sleeping, and at the same time secrete growth hormone, and the amount of their secretion is related to the time and quality of sleep.
★ Secretion of growth hormone, mainly at nighttime rest
● Growth hormone is a substance that is indispensable for a person's growth and development.
It promotes bone growth and protein synthesis, and plays a key role in human growth.
It not only has an effect on height, but also has a non-negligible impact on the development of the brain, so the problem of children sleeping requires parents to worry more about it. If you can understand the law of growth hormone secretion, then you can better ensure that the child's growth and development are carried out by leaps and bounds.
★ The "golden hour" of children's sleep should be seized
We often say that a person should sleep 8 hours a day, perhaps for adults, 8 hours can fully meet the energy needed to resume a day's activities, but for the growth and development of children, it does not necessarily have a significant effect.
According to research:
From 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. and around 4 a.m. to 6 a.m., these two periods are the golden stages for children to sleep.
During this time period, the process of their growth hormone secretion is much larger than that of ordinary sleep. If you have high-quality sleep at this time, the secretion effect can even reach 5 times that of normal sleep.
Good sleep quality can ensure that the secretion of growth hormone is more vigorous, and when the child is in a state of deep sleep and relaxation, the brain has the opportunity to secrete more growth hormone. Therefore, if parents can balance the way their children enter deep sleep, this will undoubtedly be of great help to improve their children's height.
▼How to help children fall asleep quickly?
● The sleep environment of light music can relieve brain fatigue
When the brain is very tired, it can easily enter the sleep state, but this sleep state is only a mild sleep stress response after excessive fatigue. This kind of sleep can only give the child a light rest, and does not put them into a state of deep sleep.
If they play relaxing music in the room while they are sleeping, it can relieve the fatigue of the brain very well, so that they can enter a state of deep sleep. Such an environment can relax their emotions and also allow them to fall asleep faster.
● Bedtime stories can soothe their emotions very well
If your child is very excited before going to bed, they won't get a good night's sleep and may even be rolling around in bed while they're sleeping.
If you want them to sleep more soundly, parents can accompany them before they go to bed and tell them small stories, so that they will fall asleep faster and develop the habit of reading.
And in the process of reading the story, you can also increase the interaction with the child, which is also conducive to enhancing the parent-child relationship, so that the child can feel the beautiful mood and feel more intimate with the parents.
Whether it's before or after bedtime, there are plenty of things parents can do to get their kids a quality sleep. And not only the companionship before going to bed, but also the daily diet can also improve the quality of sleep.
▼Starting from the daily diet:
Before going to bed, do not let the child eat too much, if the child eats too much, it will cause a very large burden to their stomach. This burden will make them feel very uncomfortable, and gastrointestinal peristalsis will also affect the child's sleep, I hope parents can notice this.
In fact, if you want your child to sleep well, there are many, many ways, if parents can take the initiative to learn more about parenting knowledge, then the benefits for children outweigh the disadvantages.
