How weaken TVs, mobile phones, monitors children's bedrooms

An opinion poll showed that the use of computers, mobile phones and TVs at night affects children sleep, and thus on their health, mood and performance in school.

Studies indicate that many children are deprived of sleep badly. One out of every three children between the ages of 12 to 16 slept only 4-7 hours a night, according to an opinion poll was carried out by the Advisory Board to sleep on 1,000 youths.

Children at this age need 8 to 10 hours of sleep each night, and sleep experts say.

The researchers believe that the screens and other electronic devices are responsible, and they recommend put strict limits on the use of television sets, mobile phones or computers in the bedroom of the child during the evening.

He acknowledged the child out of every four children surveyed said they were more than once during the week, sleeping as they watched television, or and they listen to music or during other technical orientations.

Almost all the children of those polled (98.5%) have a mobile phone, music system or a TV set in their bedroom, almost two-thirds of this poll (65%) to have all these things.

The effects of lack of sleep

Dr Chris Oidtskoviski says sleep center in Edinburgh: No links between most teenagers get enough sleep and the feeling during the day.

He says that bad sleep impact on adolescent health is comparable to eating junk food frequently. "We are witnessing the emergence of junk sleep," he says.

"This sleep that not be a long and well as it should in order to feed the brain needs to do his job well in school."

Evidence shows that sleep at night is just as important to eat healthy and exercise Alotefal.oolik growth who do not get enough sleep are more likely to be overweight or obese. This is because they tend to craving for sugary or starchy foods during the day to provide power to keep them awake.

Adequate sleep is the key if the child is easily wake up in the morning, and is alert and happy for most of the day, not angry.

Children seem younger who have been deprived of sleep Mtekry mood in the hyper activity, also demonstrate the need for continuous alert and a shortage of Turkaz.hzh symptoms can be mistaken for moderate proportion of the disorder hyperactivity in attention deficit.

Children need to sleep deeply

Professor Jim Horne from the relevant research center in sleep from Loughborough University and an expert in sleep Oz says that children who are going through puberty and adolescence period need to "sleep longer and deeper."

"It's a time when their brains are witnessing a major change,". "The brain is undergoing a major restructuring and renewal of brain tissue is important and sleep for this compensation."

"You can for a bad night sleep interfere with the child's tool and his behavior the next day. There is a stereotype among adolescents are so angry and rude foul, and the reason for this is sometimes a lack of sleep."

Peer pressure and social factors, including an increase in entertainment tools in the bedroom, all this increases the difficulty of good sleep for children.

"The bedrooms are changing from a place of comfort and tranquility to a place where a lot of things to keep children awake, such as computers and television," says Dr. Horne.

"Children often tend to take their phones to bed with them and begin to send text messages without the knowledge of the mother and father so."

"This distraction means that they are not in a relaxed state of good sleep, which affects their learning.

"I would put strict limits on the use of a night on the TV set, mobile phone or computer in their bedroom."
