Sleep Anxiety in Children

Sleep Anxiety in Children is one of the most frequently faced problems by parents all around the world. If anything, your definitely not alone when it comes to evaluating the situation. Whether you have a newborn baby, or a teenager that claims he or she isn't able to fall asleep in a reasonable amount of time - or even not fall asleep at all. Let us and many other professionals help you learn more about sleep anxiety in children.

The human body goes through a natural cycle of sleep that repeatedly occurs in the following order.

1. REM - Rapid Eye Movement. The eyes move around fast, the rest of your body stays relatively still, and you dream. This is the stage your child is most likely to wake up in.
2. NREM - Non Rapid Eye Movement. During this stage the eyes hardly move at all, and you are in what is more commonly referred to as a "deep sleep".

Now, while that particular cycle is the same throughout all humans; it occurs at different times and intervals depending on the age of the person.

0-9 Months: A complete cycle is completed every 50-60 minutes. This means your infant could very likely wake up several times every night. As you might have already found out.

10-24 Months: A complete cycle is usually completed in about 70 minutes or so. It really starts to vary depending on the specific person. However, most toddlers are able to fall back asleep on their own 85% of the time.

2 Years & Up: A complete cycle will usually take about 85 minutes or so. Again -- as the body grows older this is very dependent on the person him or herself. After this age the sleeping cycle will stay about the same until the child is forced to adjust their sleep life according to school and other various activities. Which brings us to the next topic.

What do you need to know about sleep anxiety in children for ages 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10?

2. If they can wake up easily without having to be bugged 3 and 4 times to "get up".
3. If they can be awake and alert all day without drowsiness.
