What are the benefits of regular sleep for children?
Regular sleep is vital for a child's health, growth, and cognitive development. It is recommended that infants aged 4-12 months get 12-16 hours of sleep, toddlers aged 1-2 years get 11-14 hours, preschoolers aged 3-5 years get 10-13 hours, school-aged children aged 6-12 years get 9-12 hours, and teenagers aged 13-18 years get 8-10 hours of sleep per 24 hours. Consistent sleep schedules and a calming bedtime routine can enhance sleep quality.
