Sleep is an active and cyclic physiological process that has a critical impact on health. Its functions are numerous: growth, development, learning, memory, synaptic efficiency, regulation of behavior, emotion, immune strengthening and cleaning time of neurotoxic substances. During the first years of life, there are a number of important changes in development, which lead to the expected pattern of sleep and wakefulness in adults. The sleep occupies a third of the adult's life. However, sleeping during the first months of life takes up more than 50% of time. This review of the topic will describe normal sleep patterns in childhood.
睡眠是一个活跃的周期性生理过程，对健康有着至关重要的影响。它有许多功能：生长、发育、学习、记忆、突触效率、行为调节、情绪调节、增强免疫力以及清除神经毒性物质。在生命的最初几年，发育过程中会发生许多重要变化，这些变化导致了成年人预期的睡眠和清醒模式。睡眠占据了成年人生命的三分之一。然而，在生命的最初几个月，睡眠占比超过50%。对该主题的这篇综述将描述儿童期的正常睡眠模式。
