Many children have behavioral insomnia of childhood. This sleep disorder involves one or both of the two following problems:
Sleep-onset association
All of us wake up briefly a number of times during the night. This sleep stage is known as rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Usually, we are unaware of these awakenings and return to sleep quickly.
Parents naturally may feel that they need to “help” their child return to sleep. The child learns to connect or “associate” going to sleep with a person or activity. I have to rock my child to sleep every night and for every nap. Set aside 10 to 30 minutes to get your child ready to go to sleep each night.
A child who gets enough sleep and sleeps well is more likely to be cheerful during the day. The better the child sleeps, the happier the entire family will be. Most sleep problems in children are not a result of bad parenting. If your child has an ongoing sleep problem, then you should talk to your child’s doctor or to a sleep specialist. In reality, sleeping is your most valuable activity of the day. Sleeping well enables you to feel, think, and perform better.
There are many ways to calm down an active child, a warm bath before bed to relax muscles, no caffeine or sugar before bedtime. Make sure there are not any teddy bears or something that makes a shadow on the wall of the child’s room. No child should have television or any toys that make noises or flashing lights.. If your child has an ongoing sleep problem, then you should talk to your child’s doctor or to a sleep specialist.
It is very important that a child develops good sleep habitsfrom infancy as these habits will follow them the rest of their lifetime. If you want to give a child a snack before bed tryptophan is an amino acid that is a precursor to serotonin, which is then converted to melatonin. Carbohydrate snacks such whole grain crackers before bedtime may help to promote sleep.
Important hormone production is regulated during sleep; in children, human growth hormone (HGH) is released during deep sleep.
When people do not have enough sleep, they cannot concentrate well the next day and have problems forming memories. Researchers believe that during sleep, neurons can shut down and repair any damage done during the day. Without these repairs, the neurons may not function correctly due to a buildup of waste products. Sleep also seems important for the formation of memories.
It is important to make sure that your child gets enough sleep and sleeps well. The value of sleep can be measured by your child’s smiling face, happy nature and natural energy. A tired child may have development or behavior problems. A child’s sleep problems can also cause unnecessary stress for you and the other members of your family.

* Infants (3 to 11 months): 14 to 15 hours
- Toddlers: from 12 to 14 hours
* Preschoolers: 11 to 13 hours
* School-age children: 10 to 11 hours
