Introduction: For night sleep to turn off the lights, this is almost our sleeping habits, which will also involve the development of children, and there are many media reports on the Internet that "turning on the night light to sleep or will lead to the problem of precocious puberty in children." Therefore, many parents have also begun to worry that their children can't sleep without a night light, so what to do.
Many children are afraid of the dark when they sleep at night, so they will light a small night lamp to seek a sense of security, and the influence of the light will become a doubt in the minds of parents. Is there a scientific basis for such a conclusion? Sleep problems will affect the child's physical development, so how to "sleep" is the most conducive to the health of young children?
In this regard, there is a certain connection between the two, but we cannot generally draw a reciprocal causal relationship between turning on the night light and the child's precocious puberty. It can only be said that under the environment of turning on the night light, the child has a more complex and indirect impact on the development of the body's precocious puberty, because in this process, the existence of the night light will affect the induction of the surrounding light in the human body's sleep.
During the process of night sleep, the body's biological rhythm will start the corresponding adjustment, the brain's pineal gland needs to secrete a substance called "melatonin" in a dark environment, which will have a certain inhibitory effect on the secretion of gonadal hormones, thereby ensuring the normal level of children's sexual development. However, if it is in a brighter environment, the melatonin secretion of the pineal gland will be inhibited.
As the inhibition of gonadal hormone secretion decreases, the child's body will enter the state of sexual maturity in advance, and then the problem of precocious puberty will occur. During this period, the secretion and inhibition principle of various hormonal substances, there is no clear scientific research report showing the fixed relationship principle, so this is still in the stage of continued research.
Moreover, there are also many variables in the influence between light and precocious puberty, in the end how bright the light will have an impact on precocious puberty, and how long it will take for the effect to appear, which we do not know. Therefore, parents do not have to be too anxious about the problem of small night lights, but in general, it is better not to turn on the lights than to turn on the lights.
On the issue of children's sleep, parents can pay attention to the following problems:
1. Replace the night light with a sensor light
In fact, the night light does not have to be lit all the time, and the child does not actually need to be accompanied by a light after falling asleep, so mothers can replace the night light for the induction lamp for the child. In this way, even if the child gets up in the middle of the night, the light will be lit with the induction, which can ensure a sense of security and will not affect the light problem of the child's night sleep.
2. Ensure a quiet and comfortable sleeping environment
The quality of sleep also has a very important impact on physical development, and the presence of noise will affect the quality of children's sleep at night, and even the problem of not being able to sleep and being awakened in the middle of the night. Therefore, the child's room should pay attention to the problem of good sound insulation, and avoid the presence of loud noise, so that the child can fall asleep in a quieter environment and not be disturbed.
3. Ensure adequate sleep time
Under normal circumstances, children need at least 9 to 10 hours of sleep a day as a guarantee, and now many children's sleep time is not enough, which is mainly related to the impact of parents and people around them. Many children have the problem of staying up late and sleeping late at a young age, which is not conducive to ensuring adequate sleep time.
4. Develop the habit of going to bed early and getting up early
In the problem of children's sleep, it is not only necessary to ensure enough sleep time, but also to have a good work and rest law, and going to bed early and getting up early is a very good habit. Being able to go to bed before 9 o'clock every night and get up at 7 o'clock in the morning is more conducive to improving the quality of sleep and helping the child's physical development and growth.
Important: There is a certain indirect impact of the night light on the problem of precocious puberty in children, but the variables and actual effects of the problem are not yet known. For the quality of children's sleep, parents can replace the night light with a sensor lamp to give the child a relatively quiet sleeping environment, to ensure that the child has enough sleep time, and has a good habit of going to bed early and getting up early.
