What are the disadvantages of children staying up late?

We all know that staying up late has a great impact on our physical health, because often staying up late will cause abnormalities in our endocrine system and may also cause us to feel mentally depressed. For children, there are more disadvantages of staying up late often. It will cause your height to not develop normally and will also affect your intellectual development. Therefore, you must develop good living habits to avoid these disadvantages.

Easy to affect height growth Although height is related to genetics and nutrition, it is also closely related to endocrine. The hypothalamus tissue in the human brain can secrete a growth hormone that promotes children's development. It is mainly secreted between 10 pm and 1 am. About 60 to 90 minutes after children fall asleep, secretion increases significantly, accounting for 1/2 to 3/4 of the total daily secretion. If children go to bed late for a long time, it will inevitably affect the normal secretion of growth hormone, which is not good for their physical development, especially their height.

Children in prepuberty, whose intellectual development is easily affected, should get enough sleep every day. Staying up late often will affect the body's physiological functions and disrupt the biological clock. Being drowsy during class affects intellectual development and causes a decline in academic performance.

It is easy to reduce the immune function. Sufficient sleep at night can not only eliminate fatigue, but also improve the body's immune function. Children who go to bed late may experience lack of energy, decreased appetite, weight loss, general fatigue, etc. Some children are also prone to diseases such as bronchitis and allergic rhinitis. Therefore, parents should pay attention to cultivating good sleeping habits for their children.

First of all, create a warm sleeping environment for your child. Keep your bedroom quiet and eliminate distractions from television or other noisy sounds. Avoid letting your children watch exciting or scary TV programs, eat too much, or do too much exercise before going to bed, and don't scold your children before going to bed.

Secondly, children should be taught to develop the habit of keeping a regular schedule from an early age. In daily life, parents should arrange the time for daily study, games, eating and sleeping according to the age characteristics of their children. The time should be relatively fixed and form habits, and should not be changed at will. For children who are "night owls", they can be allowed to participate in more outdoor activities during the day to increase their exercise.

Third, let your child brush his teeth, wash his face, urinate, turn off the lights, etc. before going to bed every night. By repeating the same actions every day, it will help create a good atmosphere before going to bed.

In addition, parents should give more patience and love to children who have developed the habit of being "night owls". If your child is not used to going to bed early at first, you can let him read a book quietly for a while or listen to soothing music. Drinking a small glass of milk before going to bed can also help you fall asleep as soon as possible.

According to the article's introduction to the disadvantages of staying up late for children, we all know that staying up late for children has a relatively large impact on their physical health. If our mothers are more concerned about their children, you should pay attention to your children and not let them stay up late often, as this will lead to lower intelligence and decreased immunity in children.
