Patient's question:
How can a child's sleep be improved? Is it necessary to seek medical treatment? How long will the treatment take to be effective? Please help me!Doctor's answer:
Originally, children secrete large amounts of growth hormone only when they are sleeping. Growth hormone, as the name suggests, is a hormone closely related to growth and development, secreted by the growth hormone-producing cells of the pituitary gland. This hormone plays a crucial role in growth and development, participating in the metabolism of sugar and fat in the body, but its most important function is to promote the synthesis of nucleic acids and proteins. If a child does not sleep well and cannot secrete sufficient amounts of growth hormone, their protein synthesis will be affected, which in turn impacts their growth and development. To help children grow better and faster, parents must ensure they get adequate sleep.
