Patient's question:
Since turning eighteen, I've grown less reluctant to take naps. In the past, when I was only a few months old, I spent my days either eating or sleeping, able to sleep for several hours at a time. But now, I'm always up to play during the day and get much less sleep. What kind of assistance is needed: How much sleep is best for a child in a day?Doctor's answer:
Generally, children need to fall asleep before 8 PM, as growth hormone begins to be excreted and gradually increases after 8 PM. At this time, if children fall asleep, it is beneficial for their physical height increase. In addition to growth hormone, many other hormones are excreted the most at night, which is crucial for children's physical growth and development. Therefore, it is important to cultivate the habit of going to bed early in children. Generally, getting enough sleep for 10 hours a day is sufficient.
