The new semester begins, and some parents are starting to worry: A summer vacation has passed, and it seems that other students in the class have grown a lot taller, but their children’s height has not changed much. "All of them are pretty old, and what should be supplemented usually has been made up. Why is the gap so big?"
Parents look here! The child’s lack of growth may be related to this habit:
Turn on the light to sleep!
Will you grow tall when you turn on the light?
It really happens! Our sleep rhythm is affected by the level of melatonin secretion. When you turn on the light to sleep, light stimulation will inhibit the secretion of melatonin in the body, causing the brain to have an illusion - this is not the time to sleep.
Even very soft and faint light will have an impact. Long-term insufficient secretion of melatonin will lead to children's habitual sleep late. The night sleep state is the peak period for the secretion of growth hormone in the human body. When there is a lack of deep sleep for enough time, the secretion of growth hormone in the child's body will decrease. In the long run, bone development will be delayed, and bone age is smaller than the actual situation. In addition, melatonin also inhibits gonadal axis . When the child's body has insufficient melatonin secretion for a long time, premature puberty may occur!
is not only about sleeping on the lights. Studies have shown that the blue light emitted by electronic device screens also has a significant delay in melatonin secretion. Therefore, watching TV and playing with your mobile phone for too long before going to bed will further shorten your sleep time, which will eventually affect your body's growth and development!
Special reminder:
Turn on the light to sleep and play with your phone for a long time before going to bed. It will not only affect growth and development, but also make people quietly gain weight, lose their vision, reduce their immunity, and even increase the risk of cancer!
While parents usually strengthen their children's nutrition, they should pay attention to guiding their children to exercise more and develop good sleeping habits. There are many reasons that affect the growth and development of children and adolescents. If you find that your child is obviously shorter than your peers, it is recommended to take your child to the hospital for treatment in time!
The epidemic has not ended yet, and epidemic prevention cannot be relaxed
