Question
A six-year-old child is in first grade. They go to bed at 10 PM and wake up at 7 AM, with a one-hour nap in the afternoon, totaling ten hours. Is this schedule reasonable? Shouldn’t it be changed to going to bed at 9 PM and taking a nap at noon?
Answer
According to your description, a sleep schedule for your child that starts at 9 PM and ends around 6:30 AM in the morning, with a one-hour rest in the afternoon, is reasonable and quite regular. It is recommended to give your child half a bag of milk or milk powder half an hour before bedtime, which can help improve their quality of deep sleep. Pay attention to a balanced diet and moderate aerobic exercise during the day.
