Is Afternoon Sleep Good for Kids?

Afternoon sleep is good for kids. In fact it is good for all ages, given how lack of sleep (few hours of sleep, disturbed sleep, falling asleep at the wrong times of the day, etc.) is a real health problem for both children and even for adults.

There are dozens of studies and research that confirm how this type of sleep, no matter how short compared to night sleep, is essential in early childhood, as it contributes to the physical and mental development of children, preventing them from getting too tired, get nervous or irritated in the evening.

Afternoon sleep is also essential to help children learn to play and memorize better, as well as to provide a good prevention against obesity, as when they are tired they tend to eat more and worse than when relax.
