2. CHILDREN AND SLEEP Every person needs a sleep. Small children sleep very long. The rhythms begin to develop at about six weeks, and by three to six months most infants have a regular sleep-wake cycle. By the age of two, most children have spent more time asleep than awake. Sleep is important for a child at this period of time.

3. SLEEP AND NEWBORNS (1-2 MONTHS) Newborns sleep about 11 to 18 hours a day. The sleep period may last a few minutes to several hours. During a sleep, they are often active, twitching their arms and legs, and smiling all the time.

4. SLEEP AND PRESCHOOLERS (3-5 YEARS) Preschoolers usually sleep 11-13 hours each night and most do not nap after five years of age. As with toddlers, difficulty falling asleep and waking up during the night are common.

5. SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN (5-12 YEARS) Children aged 5 to 12 need 10-11 hours of sleep. At the same time, there is a demand on their time from school (e.g., homework, sports and other social activities).
