Adequate sleep is essential for the health of adults and children. But if adults need 7 to 9 hours of sleep every night, then children should get at least 10 hours, as scientists from the USA have established.
During the summer holidays and hot nights, parents pay much less attention to the duration of their children's sleep than during school periods. However, experts believe that this is wrong, and children's sleep is equally important at any time of the year. Especially during those periods when children often travel with their parents, move to other regions or countries, where they may experience the so-called jet lag, get much less sleep and get more tired. The child needs to get adequate sleep, and its duration should be at least 10 hours, as the study showed.
Beauties must sleep
That's how much it takes every night for children to develop socially and academically, that is, to get good grades in school. At the same time, it is desirable to receive these 10 hours at night, and not add daytime and nighttime sleep. The child may take a nap during the day, but this duration should not be added to the night's rest. We are talking about consecutive 10 hours of nightly sleep, although not all children manage to achieve such results. However, this is not as difficult as many people think.
Vaccinations were prescribed for schoolchildren
Experts say that if a child is active during the day, that is, he walks a lot, runs, jumps, plays and gets very tired, then he will sleep the same 10 hours that and are required. If the baby sits in front of a computer or TV screen all day, then he simply will not be able to get tired enough, and his brain will retain some degree of excitement. It is best to separate your child from the TV or computer screen at least 30 minutes before going to bed. (READ MORE)
