Sleeping

Why sleep?

The newborn, in the first days of life, spends approximately two-thirds of each twenty-four hour period asleep. Over the course of a lifetime, the length of sleep decreases until old age, when humans spend only about a quarter of a twenty-four hour period asleep. Over the course of our lifetime, therefore, we spend about one-third of our time sleeping.

The fact that infants spend more time in sleep than in wakefulness during the first 3 years of their life suggests that sleep plays a more crucial role during this age period. Sleep is important for physical recuperation, physical growth, the immune system, brain development, learning, memory, and information processing as well as many other systems of the brain and the human body.

I remember when my baby was 1 month old because she always sleep on day. She will wake up if she is hungry and I will breastfed her. She will wake up when she wants to "popo". She will wake up when she is wet. Until now my daughter Kyla love to sleep and it will take 2-3 hours of sleeping. She is a healthy daughter of mine.:)
