Children go to sleep slowly?Expert: There is indeed influence

Children's growth and development have always been the topic that parents are most concerned about. Recently, the "10 -year -old boy opened the lights to sleep for 4 years slowly" and rushed to the hot search list with a reading volume of 150 million, attracted attention. What is the relationship between driving on the light and growing and development? Can't you sleep on the light? The reporter asked Zhu Chun, deputy chief physician of the Child Health Department of Nanjing Maternal and Child Health Hospital.

According to reports, a 10 -year -old patient was diagnosed in a hospital in Zhengzhou recently, but because his height was only one meter per meter, the child was only five or six years old at first glance. After examination, the doctor found that the bone age development of the little boy was 4 years slower than normal. For the reason, the doctor said that it was related to the habit of sleeping on the light for a long time.

This report caused warm discussion among netizens. "Because I was afraid of darkness, I also went to sleep, but I was a girl with a height of 1.73, and I felt that the genetic impact accounted for a lot." Netizens and rabbits shared my experience. Coincidentally, netizen Tyrion also said that he was afraid to turn off the lights when he was afraid of darkness when he was a kid. So, can I go to sleep with slow painting with bone age?

"This situation like a child in the report is an individual phenomenon, and it is definitely not everyone. But if the child is always used to opening the lights to sleep, sleep quality, growth hormone and melatonin secretion will definitely be affected. It is only because individuals are different. Some people are affected, and some people are affected. "Zhu Chun, deputy chief physician of the Child Health Department of Nanjing Maternal and Child Health Hospital, explained this.

It is reported that melatonin is one of the hormones secreted by the pine consequences. Its secretion has obvious rhythm of day and night, which is usually active at night and inhibitory during the day. The main functions of melatonin are inhibiting sympathetic nerves, promoting blood pressure, promoting immune function recovery, and inducing natural sleep in the body. "In short, the main role of secreting melatonin is to promote sleep, but if the night light is brighter, it will inhibit the production of melatonin. The secretion of melatonin is reduced, and it may cause sleep disorders."

Sleep loses normal rhythm, and then it may cause abnormal secretion of growth hormones. "The secretion of growth hormones is also regular. Relatively speaking, the amount of secretion during the day is far from the amount of secretion at night." The reporter learned that under normal circumstances, the growth hormone is at 22 to 2 am at the peak of the secretion. At this time, the opportunity The body is deep sleep, and the dark sleep environment is more conducive to the complete relaxation of the brain and the role of growth hormones. "Therefore, when you sleep for a long time, you can also give the body a signal of‘ still during the day ’, which is not conducive to the secretion of growth hormones, which may affect growth and development.”

Zhu Chun said that it is usually not recommended to turn on the lights for big children, but at a young age, she needs to feed night milk or change diapers, and they can still turn on the night light on demand for a while. "Generally speaking, it is recommended to choose a night light with a small power, which is better below 4 watts. After the diaper is replaced, the lamp is turned off after the milk is completed."

It is worth noting that not only "lights", but the mobile phones and computers who are playing with their children around them may also affect their children's sleep. "Parents may feel that mobile phones and computers do not face their children's faces, but just watch it. But the light emitted from electronic products, especially Blu -ray, can also be disturbed by melatonin. Visual development has adverse effects. "

Zhu Chun told reporters that in fact, in the impact of height, genetic factors still account for most of them, and more than 70%are related to genetic. "Others, such as nutritional status, activity, and self -immunity, may affect growth and development." Therefore, children who grow and develop well should develop good sleep, ensure balanced nutritional intake, and adhere to the middle intensity above the intensity. Only the movement can "help" the long man.
