Providing a good sleeping environment for babies and ensuring good sleep quality is the wish of every parent. Good sleep is essential for babies to grow better. However, some parents are worried that their babies may be afraid and have a habit of turning on the lights. So, does turning on the lights while sleeping at night have any impact on babies?
Turning on night lights at night has a certain impact on babies. Firstly, turning on the night light can easily affect the baby's sleep, resulting in short sleep time or poor sleep quality. Because babies are very sensitive to light stimulation, in severe cases it can even cause them to have black and white reversed, affecting the secretion of growth hormone at night and resulting in lower height compared to their peers, which is not conducive to normal growth and development. Secondly, turning on night lights can also easily lead to a decline in a baby's vision, as prolonged exposure to light can irritate the eyes.
So, it is generally not recommended to turn on the lights when children are sleeping, because when children are relatively young, their eye vision is not fully developed. If they are suddenly stimulated by light when they wake up, it can cause significant damage to their eyes. In addition, turning on the lights while children are sleeping can easily lead to their habit of sleeping at night, so for the sake of their health, it is important to cultivate good sleep habits in children. We should also pay attention to our children's diet and supplement their nutritional intake.
