But why is sleep so important?

Why is sleep so important? Why do children benefit from these suggest amounts of sleep per day? Won't they just catch up as they get older? There's so many questions around the benefits of sleep especially in early childhood and if its really as important as people say it is. Well how do you feel when you are tired? Do you get the most out of your day? Do you feel emotional balanced when you're exhausted? It's the same for our little one's, I'm sure we have all noticed how our little darling's can suddenly change into little devils when tired and I'm pretty sure it happens to me too when I'm tired. So here are just some of the benefits of sleep in babies and children: * Growth hormones are primarily secreted in deep sleep, allowing for our children grow and develop. * Sleep improves learning, whilst they sleep it allows for brain growth and memory consolidation to take place. * Cells are replenished in sleep. * Supports behavioural health, little ones who have slept well tend to be less irritable and more patient. They are just a few of the magical wonders that take pace during sleep for our little ones. If you are struggling with your littles ones sleep then reach out today- its never too late.
