What are the disadvantages of lack of sleep for primary school students?

Every parent hopes their sons and daughters will become successful. Parents start sending their children to kindergarten when they are very young, and then the various interest classes, academic tasks at school and the additional tasks assigned by parents are extremely heavy. Many primary school students said that they had no time to rest. Primary school students lack sleep due to heavy study tasks. Today, let’s take a detailed look at the disadvantages of lack of sleep for primary school students.

The heavy academic burden at school leads to insufficient sleep for primary and secondary school students. Children’s sleep problems should indeed attract the attention of parents and teachers. Lack of sleep can cause students to have a decreased memory and lack of concentration, which can seriously affect children's mental and physical health over time. In a survey on the causes of anxiety disorders (anxiety, depression, fear, etc.) among primary and secondary school students, about 7%-8% were due to sleep problems. Lack of sleep will increase the risk of depression.

Physiological studies have shown that the growth of children and adolescents is mainly completed during sleep. The peak period of growth hormone secretion is from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. If you miss this sleep time, cell metabolism will be affected. For primary and secondary school students who are at a critical stage of physical and mental development, lack of sleep has many impacts. In addition to factors such as genetics, nutrition, and exercise, children's growth is also closely related to the secretion of growth hormone. Growth hormone is secreted more after people fall into deep sleep. Sufficient sleep helps to grow taller. Frequent lack of sleep will affect the secretion of growth hormone and affect height growth.

Sleep is a process of enhancing human immunity. Frequent lack of sleep will reduce the body's immunity, which will lead to various diseases, such as neurasthenia, myopia, loss of appetite, etc., and it will also make you more susceptible to colds. Affecting the brain's creative thinking, lack of sleep will make people have difficulty concentrating, reduced memory, slow thinking, etc., which will affect children's learning. Children who do not get enough sleep are prone to depression, irritability, anxiety, tension, depression, and loneliness, which can seriously affect their normal psychological development.

In fact, I think children should do what children should do and have a happy and learning childhood. Childhood is a very important period in life. In fact, having a happy childhood plays a very important role in a child's growth throughout his life. Parents should guide their children correctly instead of blindly assigning them learning tasks. The most important thing is to ensure that children get enough sleep and ensure their physical and mental health.
