Patient's question:
How can we adjust when children sleep during the day and are restless at night?Doctor's answer:
Most parents' nighttime sleep duration is from around 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. the next morning. However, babies' long nighttime sleep duration is typically from 6 to 7 a.m. to 1 to 2 a.m. or from midnight to 6 to 7 a.m. the next morning. For babies who go to bed early, the correction method involves gradually delaying their bedtime, such as extending their sleep by 15 to 30 minutes each day, while appropriately adjusting meal times and daytime naps. This gradually delays the baby's natural morning wake-up time. For babies who are accustomed to going to bed late, you can gradually wake them up earlier in the morning. Subsequently, their bedtime will gradually shift earlier.
