Example text
As the newborn does not distinguish between day and night, it awakens many times throughout a typical night. By six weeks, nighttime sleep episodes have become longer, and a more regular sleep pattern usually begins. The baby will sleep a total of fourteen and a half hours on average, with the range being between ten and eighteen hours. Newborns spend about 50 percent of their sleep time in REM sleep, during which they twitch and grunt and boys may have erections. All of this is normal. Parents who want to help their baby get the sleep it needs must learn the baby’s language—that is, how he or she communicates signs of sleepiness.
Certain symptoms in sleep-deprived adolescents deserve special attention. Besides the sleep deprivation caused by a lifestyle that interferes with sleep, adolescents may find that their circadian clock changes, so that they are no longer on the same sleep schedule as adults, and this can cause problems (see Chapter 8). When the circadian clock runs late, teenagers go to bed late, have trouble getting out of bed to go to school, and sleep much later on weekends to catch up on sleep. Teenagers who are extremely sleepy during the daytime and fall asleep at inappropriate times in spite of getting normal amounts of sleep may have a significant sleep disorder, and parents should consult a doctor.
Sleep Needs of Children From birth, every child has individual sleep needs and patterns. These patterns change with time, and the way the patterns change is also individual. If a couple’s first baby is a great sleeper, this does not mean that future children will be great sleepers. Yet despite individual idiosyncrasies, children tend to have similar sleep needs and patterns at the same ages, and parents who understand what to expect and learn their child’s sleep pattern can recognize when problems arise and when to seek help.
