A new study published in JAMA Network found that lack of sleep has negative impacts on the psychological well-being of children. They are unable to perform well in school and experience a decrease in quality of life. Although there have been several studies on children with sleep disorders, the researchers in this study analyzed what would happen if healthy children's sleep was disrupted.

"Children's sleep time should be taken seriously and they should adhere to a regular sleep schedule. Poor sleep quality can affect all aspects of a child's life. This includes how much food they eat, whether they are able to run and play with full energy, whether they are attentive during classes, or have sufficient social skills."

It is important for children to get enough sleep every night, according to their age. They should have the same amount of time to wake up and sleep. One of the most important things to maintain the quality and sufficient duration of children's sleep is by turning off all gadgets. The blue light exposure from screens at night can disrupt children's sleep because it can send signals to the brain that it is time to wake up. Source: Times of India
