Since the advent of the electric light, our sleeping habits have changed and whether our excuse is work or leisure the result is the same – many of us do not get enough sleep. The health implications are numerous and should be of utmost concern to parents of young children, for whom sleep is even more crucial.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”2 What about the Other 18 Sounds” module_id=”2-What-about-the-Other-18-Sounds” _builder_version=”4.9.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”30px||0px||false|false” collapsed=”on”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.1″ _module_preset=”default” width=”95%” max_width=”1200px” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”|10px||10px|false|false”][et_pb_text module_id=”what-happens-when-children-sleep” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_text_color=”#86bce6″ custom_padding=”||||false|false” locked=”off”]<\/p>\n

What happens when children sleep?<\/h1>\n

They go to school, partake in extra curricular activities, complete homework assignments and navigate complex social structures. They do all of this as their bodies grow and process information about the world around them. It\u2019s no surprise then that sleeping well is so important to them. During sleep, the body is actually very busy. According to the US National Sleep Foundation, tissue growth and repair occurs while we sleep. Blood supply to the muscles increases and energy is also restored. In addition, growth hormones vital to the healthy development of children are released into the body during sleep. Sleeping also helps to regulate the immune system. So many important processes happen while children are sleeping and a lack of good-quality sleep can have serious adverse effects.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”is-my-child-sleep-deprived” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_text_color=”#86bce6″ custom_padding=”30px||||false|false” locked=”off”]<\/p>\n

If a child is not getting sufficient sleep they suffer in numerous ways. Parents should look out for the following signs of sleep deprivation.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Difficulty concentrating<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Lack of awareness<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Struggling to process information or remember things<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Falling asleep during the day<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Sleeping more at weekends to compensate for a lack of sleep during the week<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Mood swings and irritability<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    In addition to the above, sleep deprivation can cause changes in the metabolism that could lead to obesity or heart disease in later life.<\/p>\n

A child who is having healthy sleep will likely:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      Fall asleep within twenty minutes once in bed and settled<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

The national US Sleep Foundation recommends the following amount of sleep for children of different age groups:<\/p>\n

      Newborn:<\/span> 0-3 months – 14-17 hours per day
      \nInfant:<\/span> 4-11 months – 12-15 hours per day
      \nToddler:<\/span> 1-2 years old – 11-14 hours per day
      \nPreschool:<\/span> 3-5 years old – 10-13 hours per day
      \nSchool-age:<\/span>:6-13 years old – 9-11 hours per day<\/p>\n

      Parents should count back from the top end of the range appropriate to their child\u2019s age to calculate a bedtime (e.g. for a school age child expected to wake up at 7 a.m. count back eleven hours for a bed time of 8 p.m.). They should monitor when their child wakes naturally and adjust bedtime accordingly. Parents should try to stay within the guidelines as most children will need to sleep for at least the minimum time for their age group.<\/p>\n

      In addition to ensuring that children get enough sleep, there are steps parents can take to guarantee good-quality sleep.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”establish-a-routine” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_text_color=”#86bce6″ custom_padding=”30px||||false|false” locked=”off”]<\/p>\n

      Ensure that children\u2019s bedrooms are quiet, cool and dark, and take steps to avoid disturbing a sleeping child. If a younger child is sharing a room with an older sibling, make arrangements to prevent them from waking their younger brother or sister. This can be done by making the child get ready for bed at the same time as their sibling or in another room. Parents may also wish to consider giving the older child the bed closest to the door or the bottom bunk.<\/p>\n
