Children need 9 hours of sleep to learn properly

A new study into the sleeping habits of children has found that a child needs between 9 and 11 hours sleep each night to ensure that they learn to the best of their ability.

Preston, United Kingdom (prHWY.com) September 20, 2011 - A new study into the sleeping habits of children has found that a child needs between 9 and 11 hours sleep each night to ensure that they learn to the best of their ability.

Research from the Autonomous University of Barcelona analysed the link between children being able to develop and learn properly and sleep.

Children who get between 8 and 9 hours of sleep are more likely to struggle in school than those who get between 9 and 11 hours.

The research was carried about by analysing the sleeping patterns of six to seven year olds across Spain.

Ramon Cladellas, a research from the psychology department that the Autonomous University of Barcelona said: "The lacking hours of sleep distorts children's performance in linguistic knowledge, grammar and spelling rules, and key aspects in the organisation and comprehension of texts."

Other studies have also linked a lack of sleep to other childhood problems. Children who don't get enough sleep are more likely to be disruptive, aggressive or become bullies, so parents are being urged to ensure that they make sure their children can get enough sleep to get the best opportunities in life.

There are many reasons why a child may not get enough sleep and one of these can be an uncomfortable bed. Sleeping on a mattress which isn't comfy will cause people of any age to have a restless night's sleep. This can reduce sleep hours so investing in a new luxury mattress can have a significant benefit on improving sleep and ensuring a child wakes up feeling refreshed and ready to learn!
