London: A team of British researchers has said that children with deficits in both vocabulary learning and cognitive skills tend to sleep more.
According to media reports, a new study published recently found that children who are more efficient at consolidating information during sleep sleep less, while children with deficits in word learning and cognitive abilities sleep more. are
According to a recent study conducted by the University of East Anglia, children who sleep too much have shorter vocabulary and weaker cognitive abilities. This problem is a common concern for parents who often worry about their children’s sleep.
The research team says that although excessive sleep is associated with lower cognitive ability, reducing the duration of sleep in such children will not improve mental development. Parents should let their children sleep as much as they need.
The lead researcher of the study, Dr. Theodora Galiga, said that parents are worried about their child’s sleep. Parents worry that their children are not getting enough sleep for their age or are sleeping too much, but our research shows that a child’s sleep duration reflects their individual cognitive needs. Some children are more efficient at consolidating information during sleep, while children with cognitive deficits sleep more often.
