Excursion in the deep sleep: Sleep-change with children
At least each tenth child under 15 years sleep-changes. That is the result of a study of the technicians health insurance company. imedo explains, how small sleep transducers come reliably by the night.
Hamburg - with expressionless face, rigid view and angular movements they run at night purposefully apparently by the dwelling. But their “schlafwandlerische security” deceives: The small night ramblers do not move on their excursion in the deep sleep very sensitivly, and furniture or stairs becomes fast dangerous Stolperfallen. Inga Margraf, psychologist, guesses parents of small sleep transducers, sharp edged furniture abzupolstern to secure stairs and lock windows and doors. A Glöckchen at the children's room door can signal parents that its Sprössling on the way is.
Sleep-change gives no reason to the concern
Reason to the concern is the sleep changing non up to puberty places itself usually the normal sleep. “Parents should not wake their sleep-changing child up, but gently in the bed”, recommend expert Inga Margraf lead back. “Sleep transducers are in the deep sleep on the way. If they are waked suddenly, they frighten themselves only unnecessarily.” This is particularly dangerous, if they are waked up in a danger situation - for instance at the open window - and to then frighten itself.
Sleep-change arises in a deep sleep phase in the first half the night. The body partly awakes from the sleep into a condition halfwax in. “Sleep transducers know in this condition relatively monotonous movements would drive out, without this consciously to notice”, explain Inga Margraf.
A “they do not know reminding the maximally halfhour night trip on the next morning.” Usually they move straightforward towards a source of light. Contrary to the classical representation of the sleep transducer on the roof roofridge, the moon plays today however no more outstanding role - stronger
Light it than point of attraction replaced.
Why humans sleep-change, is today disputed until, a uniform explanation sample seems it not to give. A role probably plays the development process of the childlike brain and central nervous system, because particularly frequently children are concerned between five and twelve years. Investigations point besides to the fact that the assessment is left for sleep changing. In addition can do stress and fear, fever, a full blister or external influences such as noise the night
Umherwandern affect.
