The myth that our body thrives on food alone has long been busted. The proper period of undisturbed sleep does not back a healthy diet; our body would remain tired all the time.
It is during those particular hours of rest that the body carries out the much-needed repair work along with rebuilding. Maximum growth also happens during these hours, and that is why they become special hours for our body. As parents, we watch our children all the time, and we do fret if the child does not get proper sleep. The ideal sleep hours required by a child is at least 9 hours and then take away an hour as the child grows.
Sleep disorders affect not just your child’s growth, but it can also have an adverse effect on all spheres of his/her life.
Some of the negatives effects brought on by lack of sleep:
- Injuries and accidents
- Reaction becomes slow
- Mood swings and behaviour problems
- Poor performance
- Overeating
- Memory becomes poor
- Comprehension skills suffer which affects learning
- Conflict with others
- ADHD
If your child shows any of the following signs you need to be on guard:
- Pauses in breathing while sleeping
- Snoring
- Problems with undisturbed sleep through the night
- Has difficulty staying awake during the day
- Academic performance slips for no apparent reason
- Has nightmares or sleepwalks
- Has trouble falling asleep
These can be signals of different sleep disorders:
Obstructive Sleep apnea syndrome—-breathing problems during sleep
Restless leg syndrome—strange feelings in legs
Periodic limb movement—jerking movement of the body parts leads to disturbed sleep
Parasomnia— Group of nighttime sleep problems like sleep terrors, confusional arousal, sleepwalking or talking, nightmares. This may even run in families.
The child is sleepy during the day and muscles may grow to slack all of a sudden making the child fall.
Narcolepsy—a neurological disorder, brain unable to control the desire to sleep—child will be extremely sleepy during the day.
Nocturnal seizures— can happen just before sleep, during sleep or after waking up. The body might not jerk as much, but yes this is also one of the reasons for disturbed sleep. It is a rare disorder
Insomnia— a child finds it difficult to fall asleep or hard to go back to sleep once disturbed—leads to behaviour problems, anxiety and depression.
Delayed sleep phase syndrome—problem with internal body clock also known as circadian rhythm-controls sleep times of the body—can be trained and changed
Excessive daytime sleepiness— child finds it difficult to stay awake during the day
You must take these steps to help your child:
- Establish regular bedtime —do not allow variations
- Make a relaxing bedtime routine
- No caffeine, chocolates or any energy-giving drink before bedtime
- Keep the bedroom dark and set comfortable temperature.
- No electronic gadgets 2 hours before bedtime.
- Avoid large meals at dinner time
- Infants and toddlers should be put to bed when they are tired, rather than once they are asleep as a change of place disturbs the child’s sleep.
