Sleep; Children’s natural needs are an important part of their healthy development. Babies and children cannot get through the day with just one night’s sleep. For babies and children, night sleep alone is not enough.
In general, children who do not nap at midday experience sleepiness, irritability, and loss of appetite during the day.
In Spain there is a system called “siesta” where children take a break from everyday life at lunchtime and go to sleep. Children who sleep for one to two hours during this time become more vital, more energetic and their productivity increases over the course of the day. Experts also point out that there is a greater need for afternoon naps, especially among children.
Research shows that children who sleep during the day are healthier
The afternoon nap is at least as important as the night’s rest. Napping has a direct impact on the child’s physical and mental development by laying the foundation for a good sleep environment. In children, growth hormone, which influences physical development, is mainly released during sleep. In addition, sleep plays an important role in strengthening the immune system. A child’s body who gets enough sleep at night and naps during the day will be refreshed and their energy levels will increase during the day.
Children ages 3 to 5 who nap remember lessons better
A study conducted in the United States found that napping helps preschoolers better remember the lessons they have learned.
The study found that giving children an hour’s sleep at midday strengthens their brains and helps them learn.
It was observed that children who were able to sleep for an hour after lunch remembered 10 percent more information than on days when they did not sleep.
