Patient's question:
The child is 68 years old and in the first grade of primary school. They go to bed at 10 PM and get up at 7 AM. They take a one-hour nap, totaling 10 hours of sleep. Is this okay, or should they go to bed at 9 PM and take a nap in the middle of the day?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, this sleep schedule for the child—going to bed at 9 p.m. and waking up at 6:30 a.m., with a one-hour nap in the middle of the day—is quite reasonable and quite regular. It is recommended that the child drink half a bag of milk or formula half an hour before bed each day, as this can help improve the quality of their deep sleep. It is also suggested to pay attention to a balanced diet of meat and vegetables for the child and to engage them in moderate aerobic exercise.
