Do your children also have these habits before going to bed, like to watch TV, play with mobile phones before going to bed, eat too much before going to bed, turn on the lights to sleep?...... If so, the child may not grow tall.
Poor sleep, especially long-term sleep, greatly affects the growth and development of children, and there is a backwardness in height, weight, and intelligence. If your child also has the following 5 bedtime habits, adjust them as soon as possible so as not to affect your child's final height.
01 Play with your phone before going to bed
Nowadays, many children have the habit of playing with mobile phones and watching TV before going to bed, and the light emitted by electronic products, especially blue light, will also interfere with the production of melatonin, which has an adverse effect on children's sleep quality and vision.
Suggestion: It is best not to look at the electronic screen and not to be too excited 1-2 hours before bedtime, so as not to cause the child to procrastinate and reduce the quality of sleep.
02 Sleep too late
Most of the growth hormone is secreted during sleep, especially in the first half of the night, so poor sleep, especially long-term poor sleep, affects the growth and development of children.
Suggestion: Under normal circumstances, growth hormone secretion peaks between 22 o'clock and 2 o'clock in the morning, when the body is in a state of deep sleep, which is more conducive to the growth of children. Let your child get into the habit of going to bed early, preferably before 9:30 and no later than 10 o'clock.
03 Eat too much before going to bed
The child eats too much at dinner, does not digest it when it comes to bed, and does not sleep well at night, and it is uncomfortable to toss and turn. Not only that, but also may not grow taller but fat, and obesity is an important cause of large bone age, every year older than the bone age, the child will grow one year less, and the direct loss of 5-10cm.
Suggestion: Don't eat too much before going to bed, growth hormone is secreted in a pulse, and the secretion will increase in a hypoglycemic state, especially don't eat 2 hours before bedtime, and children over 3 years old finish dinner before 7:30.
04 Turn on the night light when you sleep
Turning on the light while sleeping will give the body a signal that it is still daytime, which is not conducive to the secretion of growth hormone and may affect growth and development.
Suggestion: Do not turn on the night light when sleeping, a dark sleep environment is more conducive to complete relaxation of the brain, and growth hormone plays a role.
05 Too excited before going to bed
Many children like to play around and play non-stop before bedtime. When the brain is excited, it can be difficult to fall asleep quickly. The child will be awake all the time and unable to sleep, which will also affect growth and development.
Suggestion: Don't be too excited before going to bed, don't do strenuous exercise, you can read a book, listen to soft music, calm your body, adapt to the rhythm of sleep in advance, improve sleep quality, and lay a good foundation for growing taller.
Sleep is essential for a child's growth, and if the child has these habits, we need to help the child overcome and correct them as much as possible.
If there is obvious difficulty falling asleep, easy to wake up, and unsteady sleep, you can supplement nutrients before going to bed to help your child improve sleep quality, promote growth hormone secretion, and let your child grow taller in sleep.
When the child can sleep well, eat well, and move a lot, then on the basis of genetics, it is not a problem to grow a few centimeters taller.
