Myth 1: If you are sleepy, you will sleep.
For infants, the more sleep they lack, the more sensitive they are and the more uneasy they sleep.
Children who are too tired to collapse will find it difficult to fall asleep, and even if they fall asleep, they will probably not fall asleep naturally. When they are too tired, it is often difficult for children to appease themselves during the process of falling asleep. The more sleepy they become, the more they cry, and the difficulty of coaxing them to sleep will soar.
Myth 2: No sleepiness, no sleep
Babies’ sleep signals are very different from adults’, but the more sleepy they become, the more excited they become.
Sometimes too much stimulation is given, and the drowsiness signal will be hidden when the baby is awake, which is not easy to detect. At first glance, the baby is in good spirits and has fun, which is a characteristic of awake for adults, but it may be one of the manifestations of excessive fatigue for the baby. Try to change the quiet environment for the baby and stay away from the stimulation source. TA may start yawning immediately.
Myth 3: Not sleeping is not sleepy,
The baby cannot pull the curtains, turn off the lights, take off his clothes and climb to bed by himself … This is a physical limitation. Emotionally, their self-control ability is still at an early stage of development, and the spell of getting more excited and more sleepy has not yet been broken… not sleeping may not be sleepy, but more often it may be a baby [who wants to sleep but does not have a suitable environment to sleep and is unable to sleep].
Myth 4: It’s good to be big,
Sleep is closely related to brain development. Older children do seem to sleep better than young children. However, regardless of the future situation in what, the current day is still very important. It is not uncommon for children to still lack sleep and cannot sleep peacefully until they are 2 or 3 years old after being improperly interfered with but allowed to develop freely.
