Sleep is very important for everyone, and good sleep quality is crucial for a person's health, especially for babies who are in the growth and development stage. Sleep is even more important. So, now let's take a look at what happens when a one year old baby is surprised to sleep?
The reason for the startle sleep of newborns is primarily due to their relatively young age and underdeveloped central nervous system. Because the newborn brain is not yet mature, its impact on the environment is relatively significant. If there are unusual sounds in the environment or if another adult speaks, the child will exhibit reflexive jumping. In this case, parents only need to keep the environment quiet while their child is sleeping.
There are many reasons in clinical medicine that can lead to frequent startles during infant sleep, such as the common occurrence of startles due to the underdeveloped nervous system in children, which can be easily stimulated by external factors. At the same time, if a child has been frightened during the day, they may also experience startle at night. However, if the child is accompanied by gastrointestinal dysfunction, increased excitability of nerves and muscles, and other diseases, it can also cause the child to experience startle.
The startle reflex that occurs when a baby falls asleep before the age of five months is a normal physiological phenomenon that generally does not require special treatment. If the baby still has startle reflex after five months, it may be related to neurological disorders and requires timely medical examination.
