The Russian writer Turgenev commented on sleep, sleep is like a cool wave, which will cleanse all the business in your mind.
Every day at noon, after eating and drinking, we turn on the air conditioner and sleep beautifully, which is simply too comfortable. But for energetic children, they don't want to take a nap, and they are so energetic at night that they refuse to fall asleep for a long time.
After all, children are free to play during the holidays, watching TV, looking at their phones, playing their favorite games, and maybe going to bed after 10 or 11 o'clock.
Seriously, if adults stay up late at night, they will be very tired of work and life the next day, as if they can't do anything after a serious illness. And what about children?
Moreover, the harm of a child going to bed late not only affects his height and poor sleep, but also affects his mental state the next day. There are also the following three influences, which are also key.
First of all, it affects height.
One of the keys to growing taller is growth hormone, and the peak of growth hormone secretion is in deep sleep after 12 o'clock.
If the baby has been in a state of light sleep, it is difficult for growth hormone to reach its peak, which will affect their sleep.
Therefore, in order to ensure that children fall asleep at 12 o'clock, let them go to bed early and let them go to bed before 10 o'clock.
According to a child health expert, if you miss the peak of auxin secretion, cell metabolism will also be affected, and it is recommended to go to sleep before 10 p.m.
Secondly, it hurts the child's heart.
Some children will have such a state during the holidays, they can't sleep well at night, sleep late, and don't want to get up in the morning. Some babies will lose their appetite and don't want to eat.
Some are severe, irritable, and fluctuating, which is a sign of sleep deprivation.
This condition will cause irritability and excitement, which will affect the child's blood pressure, breathing, heartbeat, etc., and may also cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which will have a serious impact on the heart.
So, don't always indulge your child to go to bed late, this will plant the seeds of the baby's heart disease, which may erupt in adulthood.
Three good habits and bad habits of sleep, see which ones in your child are in them? First of all, three bad habits.
The first is sleeping with your head covered.
The lack of air circulation in the quilt will lead to a lack of oxygen to the brain, and in severe cases, it may be poisoned.
The second is to sleep with your mouth open.
If you sleep with your mouth open at night, your throat will be dry and itchy the next morning, and your mouth will be dry and you will often sleep with your mouth open, which will affect your child's facial features and make you ugly.
The third is to fall asleep with air.
Don't get angry before going to bed, as this will cause chest tightness and shortness of breath, which will affect the liver. Getting angry before going to bed can interfere with a good night's sleep.
Next, let's talk about three good habits before going to bed, I hope your children are all in it!
The first one is, don't play with your phone.
When children play with their mobile phones before going to bed, their brains will be in a state of excitement and it will be difficult to feel sleepy. In addition, the light emitted by the electronic screen will inhibit the secretion of melatonin by the brain, thus affecting sleep.
Nowadays, many children like to fall asleep with their mobile phones, which is easy to cause insomnia and increases the risk of mental illnesses such as depression.
Therefore, it is important to stay away from electronic devices before going to bed, so that you will have a certain degree of quality sleep.
The second is not to eat too much before bedtime.
Surveys have shown that the time of eating the last meal of the day affects the duration of sleep.
Indeed, from 6 p.m., elementary school students' sleep will decline with the postponement of dinner time, including supper, and the food in the stomach will fall asleep in a hurry before it has been digested, which will seriously increase the burden on the digestive system.
Do not eat cold drinks, ice cream, and other excessively cold ingredients before going to bed, which will cause diarrhea, irritate the stomach and intestines, and affect the child's sleep.
In addition, don't eat too much fruit with too much water, and go to the toilet in the middle of the night, which will affect the quality of sleep.
Tips: You can drink a little milk, which can improve and help sleep.
The third is a regular routine and rest habits.
Establish a sense of ritual before bed to improve the quality of sleep. Listen to some soothing music to calm your child's mind. The temperature in the room should be adjusted to the most comfortable state, and do not always blow the fan and turn on the air conditioner.
You can also chat with your child before bedtime, which not only enhances the relationship between parents and children, but also relieves fatigue and tension.
Studies have shown that people who are overly tired can study 13% more efficiently than the average after a nap.
When it is the specified time, parents should set an example by taking their children to sleep early and develop good habits.
In addition, cultivating the habit of napping can relieve stress and improve learning efficiency. It can also improve memory, enhance immunity, and not be easy to get sick.

Catch up on dog days during the summer vacation, don't indulge the kids and let them play. Maintaining adequate sleep can promote height growth, and can also strengthen the baby's memory, thereby improving intellectual development!
