Children before the age of 6 must ensure at least 13 hours of sleep every night.
From the time the child is born to sleep 22 hours a day, as the child ages, the sleep time begins to decrease. Although we know that in sleep, the child's brain develops most rapidly, the stimulation of the child's growth during the day cannot be ignored.
But how should the proportion of the two be balanced? Experts have helped parents find a balance, and the optimal sleep time for preschoolers is 13 hours.
Sleeping is a waste of time!
Warm mothers often fall into panic, and the children born to her sisters around her seem to be much better than their daughters, some can recite hundreds of ancient poems at the age of 3, and some can play decent piano music at the age of 3.
And her daughter, all day long, just play with dolls, watch TV, when it comes to learning something, as if she wants her life, she resists. And the child's grandmother always interferes with her own discipline of the child.
This night, Nuan Nuan was watching TV with vigor, her mother suddenly turned off the TV, Nuan Nuan saw her mother's behavior, immediately cried to express her dissatisfaction, and even rolled her eyes to her mother.
The grandmother heard the child crying and immediately came out to ask her daughter-in-law, but the daughter-in-law did not answer her. Grandma took the opportunity to say to Nuan Nuan, don't cry, it's time to go to bed, Grandma will carry you back to sleep!
This sentence completely annoyed the mother, and the mother immediately said to the grandmother: Mom! It's only 7 o'clock now, and you let her sleep? It is to sleep so much every day, she will not do anything, sooner or later let you sleep stupid!
Grandma saw that her daughter-in-law was so excited, she froze in place and didn't know what to do, holding the child and not daring to move, just like a child who did something wrong.
When my mother saw her mother-in-law like this, she also felt that she had just been a little rude, and immediately explained that I was just too anxious, and I was not the right person. However, starting tomorrow, the warm bedtime will be changed to 9 o'clock!
How important is your child's sleep?
In sleep, it is more conducive to the brain secreting growth hormone
The results of the survey showed that the peak period of growth hormone secretion was from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. the next day. Among them, around 10 o'clock, the secretion of growth hormone reaches a peak, which is 5 to 7 times that of the daytime secretion.
Many mothers will issue such an exclamation, why do they feel that their children grow taller after sleeping? It's just that I haven't seen him overnight, and the child has changed so much.
In fact, such a description is not an exaggeration, but will be real. Because during sleep, the child's brain will be stimulated less, and the stable state is conducive to the secretion of growth hormone by the pituitary gland.
The role of this hormone is to promote the child to grow tall, the main body stored nutrients to meet the requirements of cell growth, growing tall is a matter of minutes.
And children who sleep late or do not sleep enough, the growth hormone secreted by the pituitary gland will be seriously affected, not to mention more secretion, and even the amount of normal secretion cannot be reached!
During sleep, memory nerves develop quietly
For those who do not stay up late often, the occasional stay up late will feel deeply damaged by the body, and there is no mental or memory difference perhaps the most obvious effect.
The physical damage of staying up late once in a while is short-lived, but if it is long, the consequences are unimaginable, and if it happens to children whose brains are not fully developed, things are even more serious.
Because the various nerves of the brain are completely relaxed and stretched out only in the state of sleep, then their development will be smoother and faster, and children who continue to sleep late or lack of sleep, memory related nerves will be irreversible.
Seeing the sleep of Gu Ailing, do you still squeeze the sleep of the child?
Among them, the title of "carrying handle" in the sleep world, I think there is no one more suitable except Gu Ailing! She shined at the Winter Olympics, and when she shared her success, she also "blew herself up" a success recipe: sleeping for 10 hours a day.
How much sleep time is this time that 6-year-olds can't reach! Although they do not go to school, they have to complete the homework of the interest class every day, and the things arranged by their parents, where is there enough time to sleep?
Even if some parents squeeze the child's sleep, the results are good, the child has reached the goal set by the parents, but for the future development of the child, please stop it!
After all, today's Gu Ailing has become an imitation of children in the eyes of parents, even if they do not agree with this practice, they will be touched and make some adjustments!
