When you were a child, did your parents ever say this to you at night, "Turn on the lights and sleep not tall", and then ruthlessly turn off the lights...
I believe you must think that parents in order to save some electricity, scare children to say so, after all, like "you cry again, the big bad wolf will come to bite you", parents did not say less.
Most people will turn off the lights when they sleep, but after having children, children must turn on the lights at night, and when the lights are turned off, they cry non-stop. At this time, as a parent, I will think about this question: "Is there any relationship between "turning on the light and sleeping" and "growth and development"?
Do children who like to turn on the lights and sleep not grow tall? It is not to scare children, parents should understand the 3 major drawbacks
Babies sleep for a long time and wake up frequently, requiring the mother to breastfeed and coax them to sleep. Therefore, many mothers will turn on the lights to sleep, so as not to wake up at night when the baby is busy turning on the lights.
With the increase of age, the baby began to sleep in separate beds with parents and mothers, at this time the child is insecure alone, and parents will also choose to turn on the lights to let the baby sleep with peace of mind.
Slowly, children develop the habit of turning on the light to sleep from an early age, and when they grow up, they still have to turn on the light to sleep.
In fact, this is not only a bad habit, a long time will also affect the baby's physical health and normal development, I hope that parents understand the 3 major drawbacks of turning on the lights to sleep, do not give children bad habits.
Disadvantage 1: Lighting affects melatonin secretion
Scientific research has found that after the human body falls asleep, the brain pineal gland secretes melatonin, which can effectively reduce the excitement of human functions and thus enter a quiet sleep state.
The strong light will affect the secretion of melatonin, may cause the baby to fall asleep or sleep lightly, the rapid development of the body will make the baby fatigue doubled, can not meet the rest required by the body.
Disadvantage two: lighting increases the probability of myopia in babies
Richard Stone of the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center, who surveyed 479 children, published the following findings:
Before the age of 2, the baby turns off the lights to sleep, and the probability of myopia is 10%;
Before the age of 2, the baby falls asleep in a night light environment, and the probability of myopia is 34%;
Before the age of 2, the baby fell asleep in an all-light environment, and the probability of myopia was 55%.
Therefore, whether it is a night light or an all-light, it will affect the baby's vision development. Wang Yunfeng, chief physician of the Department of Pediatrics of China-Japan Friendship Hospital, also reminded parents not to use small night lights as much as possible, and to accompany their children to develop a good habit of turning off the lights and sleeping!
Disadvantage three: turn on the light to sleep delay the baby's physical development
There is no scientific basis for the statement that "sleeping on the light is not high", but from some points of view, it does affect the baby's physical development.
Night lights belong to the source of pollution, in addition to night lights, top lights, etc., mobile phones, computers, tablet screen light sources are also counted, will affect the quality of the baby's sleep, sleep disorders caused by gastrointestinal dysfunction, but also may stimulate the early secretion of follicle cells, seriously cause premature puberty, and even affect the height and weight development.
Finally, the good mother suggests that each parent can accompany the child to sleep, and turn off the lights after the child is asleep, reduce the impact of the light source on the baby, and let the child get used to the dark environment to fall asleep.
