🌟Fun Fact Friday: Pediatric Sleep Edition! 😴
🛌
Did you know?
🧠Kids' brains grow while they sleep!
During deep sleep, children's bodies release growth hormone and their brains process everything they learned during the day. So yes- naps = brain power!
🎒School-aged kids need 9-12 hours of sleep per night for focus, mood, and memory. Not enough sleep? It can look like hyperactivity, not tiredness!
🍼Newborns sleep up to 17 hours a day, but only in short bursts. That's because their tiny tummies need feeding every few hours!
⏰Teens have a different sleep clock. During puberty, teens naturally want to fall asleep and wake up later. This is a real biological shift, not just staying up late for fun.

Fun Fact: Most kids stop napping by age 5, but some kids still benefit from naps up to age 7.
