How long should children sleep?
We all know how important it is for children to get the right amount of sleep. It doesn't always happen, but if your child is getting 9-11 hours of sleep a night, then that's fine. If they don't get that much sleep, then you need to look for the reason and change their sleep routine and habits. However, one of the key factors in getting a better night's sleep is the right sleep base, i.e. a mattress or mattress pad.
What is the influence of the sleep base?
A mattress and mattress topper is an investment not only in the quality of your sleep, but also in your child's health. A properly chosen sleep base can significantly improve night-time sleep. Children wake up with a good night's sleep, which not only leads to a more energetic start to the day, but also to better learning results.
An ergonomic sleep base provides adequate support, reduces pressure and helps keep the spine in its natural position. This is especially important for growing children. An unsuitable mattress can cause discomfort, leading to poorer sleep quality and frequent awakenings at night. When a mattress is breathable, it ensures a deeper sleep by maintaining optimal body temperature. Therefore, when choosing a mattress, be sure to pay attention to its properties and the materials it is made of.
Numerous scientific studies have shown that quality sleep is an integral part of children's learning. Children who get enough sleep concentrate better, are more attentive and perform better. Sleep is particularly important for memory processes, which is why sleep deprived children tend to be distracted, struggle to take in information, are unable to concentrate, and their nervous system is fatigued and overworked.
Emotional state and sleep
In today's world, it is particularly important to take care of children's emotional well-being, as stress and high levels of workload can have a negative impact on the mental health of even young people. Children are calmer and have a more stable emotional state when they have had enough sleep.
If your child is sleeping in a new bed but still complains that it is uncomfortable or you notice that the quality of sleep is not good, you need to look for the cause. A mattress topper can be used to improve the sleep base, which will provide more comfort as well as protecting the main surface of the mattress or sofa.
If the reason is not the same, then make your child's room more cosy. Observe discipline and sleep patterns. If you always go to bed at the same time, the body will adapt and at a certain time it will start to show sleep signals and it will be easier to fall asleep when you lie down. It is also very important not to use screens for at least an hour before going to bed and to avoid blue light. It is better to read a book with your child or discuss the day's events, and have fun conversations so that your child feels surrounded by love and care.
Let every morning start with a smile - a good night's sleep makes the world seem brighter! After all, better sleep is for everyone!
