CHILDREN AND SLEEP
THE IMPORTANCE OF SLEEP FOR A CHILD
Sleep is essential for a child's physical and mental
development. Adequate sleep helps with growth, improves cognitive function, and
enhances mood and behavior.
It also helps to boost the immune system, which is
particularly important for children who are still developing.
Children who don't get enough sleep may be at a higher risk
for obesity, diabetes, and other health problems. Additionally, sleep
deprivation can negatively impact a child's ability to focus and learn in
school, which can affect their academic performance.
Therefore, it is important for parents to ensure that their
child is getting enough sleep each night.
