Question
How can we improve our child’s sleep quality? Do we need to seek medical assistance? How long does the treatment process take? Please provide relevant advice.
Answer
Children’s sleep is crucial for their growth and development, as it is during sleep that growth hormone secretion peaks. Growth hormone, a hormone secreted by the pituitary gland, plays a significant role in growth and development, as well as in the metabolism of sugar and fats, and the synthesis of nucleic acids and proteins. Poor sleep quality in children can affect the secretion of growth hormone, thereby impacting protein synthesis and their growth and development. Therefore, parents should pay attention to their child’s sleep arrangements to ensure they receive adequate growth hormone, promoting healthy growth and development.
