3~6岁儿童午间睡眠对其夜间睡眠的影响

Effect of Afternoon Nap on Nighttime Sleep in Children Aged 3~6

通过对675名3~6岁儿童午睡以及夜间睡眠的观察,探讨了3~6岁儿童午睡与夜间睡眠的发展特点并分析了午睡对夜间睡眠的影响。研究结果显示:从总体上看,3~6岁儿童的一日睡眠时长为10.5小时;一日睡眠、午睡以及夜间睡眠时长均存在显著的年龄差异;午睡时长对夜间睡眠时长、入睡时间以及睡眠行为都会产生影响。具体而言,午睡超过90分钟的儿童与90分钟以内的儿童相比,夜间睡眠时长短30分钟左右,入睡晚30分钟左右,并出现更多的不愿起床、哭闹、不想上幼儿园等情绪与行为问题。这一系列研究结果提示我们要谨慎思考幼儿园的午睡时间安排,对不同的儿童及其家庭的午休需求给予区别对待,以更好地满足儿童及家庭的需求。

Through the method of observation,this paper evaluated the development characteristics of afternoon nap and nighttime sleep in 6753~6-year-old children and analyzed the influence of afternoon nap on nighttime sleep.The results showed that:the sleep time of children aged 3~6 years was 10.5 hours a day;There were significant age differences in the length of one-day sleep,afternoon nap and nighttime sleep;the length of nap has an impact on the length of nighttime sleep,sleep time and sleep behavior.Specifically,compared with children napping within 90 minutes,children who nap for more than 90 minutes sleep about 30 minutes less at night,sleep about 30 minutes late,and have more emotional and behavioral problems such as unwilling to get up,crying,and unwilling to go to kindergarten.The results of this series of studies suggest that we should carefully consider the afternoon nap time arrangement of kindergartens and treat children and their families differently,so as to better meet the needs of children and families.
