What time should children go to bed for the best growth?

Nowadays, parents are more concerned about their children's height changes. We all know that children's height has some genetic factors and we have no choice. But now more and more parents have discovered that many acquired factors can cause their children to stagnate. Lack of sleep is one of them. Some children go to bed late because they play with their mobile phones. So what time is the best time for children to grow taller? Let’s take a look together below.

1. A longer peak period at night

If you want to grow taller, you must first understand "growth hormone". This hormone is not secreted during the day, but mainly secreted at night. The more growth hormone the human body secretes, the easier it is to grow taller. According to scientists' research, 9:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. is the peak period of growth hormone secretion. If you miss this period, it will be difficult to make up for it. The pituitary gland helps the human body secrete multiple hormones, growth hormone is just one of them, so it is impossible for it to be secreted every minute, but it is concentrated in the night time period.

2. The later you go to bed, the shorter you grow

So will growth hormone be secreted in large quantities at 21:00? Obviously not, the prerequisite is that the baby must be in deep sleep. Therefore, if the baby does not fall asleep during this period or only enters a light sleep, very little growth hormone will be secreted. The later a child goes to bed, the less growth hormone he or she will secrete, and the shorter he or she will be.

There are many experts around us. If you ask an expert what methods can help you grow taller, you will generally hear him say that you should go to bed early. Don’t think this is a joke, it is true. Children’s usual sleep duration and quality will indeed affect their height growth. What time is best for children to go to bed in order to grow taller? The specific times listed above are worth your reference.
