It is now believed that up to 43% of children can experience a sleep problem at some stage during their development. Reduced quality of sleep can have important implications for the developing child as it can impair growth, learning and emotional development. It is important for health professionals to understand the significance of sleep and the ways to alleviate problems so that these can be tackled at an early age. By educating people in how to get a good night's sleep we shall hopefully move towards a more happy, healthy and capable child population.
现在人们认为,高达43%的儿童在其发育的某个阶段会经历睡眠问题。睡眠质量下降对正在发育的儿童可能产生重要影响,因为它会损害生长、学习和情感发展。对于健康专业人员来说,了解睡眠的重要性以及缓解问题的方法非常重要,这样才能在儿童早期解决这些问题。通过教育人们如何获得良好的夜间睡眠,我们有望朝着拥有更多快乐、健康且有能力的儿童群体迈进。
