Infant & Child Development, 16(4), 457-469. doi:10.1002/icd.522 This article describes the benefits of co-sleeping by pointing out that night waking’s declined in frequency and duration. It also points out that most children who co-sleep do not need a security object to go to sleep. Another point this article discusses is the benefits co-sleeping have on breastfeeding ease. The article also defines the many terms used when discussing co-sleeping and bed sharing. Wendy A. Goldberg is a professor of psychology and social behavior at the University of Michigan.

...role of sleep in our lives Date: August 26, 2013 Subject: Proposal to do a research paper/project on the people views about the psychological role of sleep in our lives. INTRODUCTION Sleep has been the subject of speculation and thought since the time of the early Greek philosophers, but recently scientists have discovered ways to study sleep in a systematic and objective way. With the advent of new technology, scientists are now being able to measure electrical patterns and activity produce by the sleeping brain. Sleeping time is controlled by circadian clock (a biochemical mechanism that oscillates with a period of 24 hours and is coordinated within day-night cycle) and in humans to some extent by willed behavior. Sleep helps the brain commit new information to memory through a process called memory consolidation. Psychological role of sleep has a great impact on our lives. In today’s society, a lack of sleep and high energy are accepted as the “norm”. It seems that people have lost sight of the importance of sleep on our mental and physical health. Many research studies have been conducted and have found that there are many benefits to sleeping regularly and well. It is not quantity that matters so much as quality of sleep. Research has also been done to study the future of sleep and how that may affect people psychologically. The field of sleep psychology is advancing, and will surely change the way that people look at the importance of sleep. In this...

...William Mertz Positive Effects on Students who get Good Sleep Everyone has heard at some point in their lives, the importance of getting good quality sleep. The concept of the importance of sleep among college students has been established, but what exactly does it mean for the individual student? A student getting good sleep (amount plus quality) will undoubtedly cause great affects among and beyond the scope of grades a student gets. Getting good sleep can lead to a less stressful life, to have the feeling of the ability to take on all of the new changes and challenges that college students face through their four or so years. Piggybacking off of the stress factor is the general healthier lives that also come with students getting those good sleep nights. Much can change for a student who gets good sleep. The research compiled from the 25 college students surveyed found that 96 percent understand that getting good sleep is important and that 72 percent would be open to suggestions on how to improve sleep habits. After this, it would be expected that the 72 percent of people willing to change would go up due to all of the great affects of good sleep. Academics There has always been a perceived notion that sleep is very important, especially right before a big test. Multiple studies have already been conducted throughout the years of this and they have all found a positive correlation between students that get more sleep have better test scores (considering all else being...

Maneceine in 1894 on rats by depriving them of sleep and examining their behavior. Sleep deprivation is an important part of academic life. It is often quoted “a sound mind in a sound body” to describe the ideal and desirable state of a human being. It can be observed that the functioning of a ‘sound body’ is vital to the efficient working of a ‘sound mind’. To maintain a healthy body it important that the recuperative functions of the body are allowed to efficiently play their role. The...

...also be built by attentive listening. (Hupcey & Miller, 2006). The heard word should initiate an action which is an acknowledgement that results to treating everyone with respect. Trust plays great role in daily nurse-patient encounters. However, a patient’s views and understanding of trustworthiness is yet to be comprehended. Caregivers should internalize and practice trustworthiness thereby enhancing the competency of their job (Hupcey & Miller, 2006). Creating an atmosphere of trust enhances a patient's response to treatment. The concept in professional practices is different when you think about this particular concept with regard to the normal day by day relationship with people such as understandings between (mother and baby, among co-workers, husband and wife or among friends). Trust, however plays a vital role in developing self-confidence in a patient in regards to the care he/she receives from health care professionals. (Hupcey & Miller, 2006). The theory of the study supports classifications that distinctiveness needed in making definitive understanding of the analyzed study (Burns & Grove, 2009).

...for body development and maintenance. Although water is not considered a nutrient it is still an essential part in a child’s diet. Diet for a three year old should be balanced and regular, also taking into consideration their religious and dietary practices. Shelter is also important but the right precautions need to be taken to make sure that the child has a healthy and safe environment. More and more children are spending excess time indoors. Physical exercise is very important to encourage the development of muscles, heart and lungs. As with everything balance is important so along with exercise, goes rest. Rest is essential for a healthy nervous system. The effects of lack of sleep can be serious causing irritability, poor concentration, etc. A growth hormone is also produced during sleep which is obviously important for...

Bipolar disorder, sometimes referred to as manic-depressive illness is a neurological disorder that causes anomalous changes in energy, mood and ability to function in an individual. The disorder distorts moods and thoughts, interferes with rational thought and incites dreadful behaviors in an individual. Bipolar disorder symptoms often lead to deteriorating results at school and work, damaged relationships and sometimes suicide (Treatment Advocacy Centre 1). Bipolar patients experience moods swings ranging from the lows of depression; extreme sadness, hopelessness and loss of interest in most activities to the highs of mania when one feels full of energy and euphoric. Bipolar disorder is neither a viral, fungal, parasitic nor bacterial disease the disorder is not caused by any pathogen. The disorder is not infectious and cannot be spread from one person to another. Bipolar comordities are classified as either medical or psychiatric. Some of the common comordities of bipolar disorder include Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Anxiety disorders, substance disorder, obesity and metabolic syndrome (Furham and Anthony 254).

...doctors and researchers now believe that SIDS is caused by several different factors, including: Problems with the baby's ability to wake up (sleep arousal) Inability for the baby's body to detect a build-up of carbon dioxide in the blood SIDS rates have dropped dramatically since 1992, when parents were first told to put babies to sleep on their backs or sides to reduce the likelihood of SIDS. Unfortunately, SIDS remains a significant cause of death in infants under one year old. Thousands of babies die of SIDS in the United States each year. SIDS is most likely to occur between 2 and 4 months of age. SIDS affects boys more often than girls. Most SIDS deaths occur in the winter. The following have been linked to a baby's increased risk of SIDS: Sleeping on the stomach Being around cigarette smoke while in the womb or after being born Sleeping in the same bed as their parents (co-sleeping) Soft bedding in the crib Multiple birth babies (being a twin, triplet, etc.) Premature birth Having a brother or sister who had SIDS Mothers who smoke or use illegal drugs Being born to a teen mother Short time period between pregnancies Late or no prenatal care Living in poverty situations While studies show that babies with the above risk factors are more likely to be affected, the impact or importance of each factor is not well-defined or understood. Symptoms Almost all SIDS deaths occur without any warning or symptoms when the infant...

...Domestic Organization Domestic Sphere of Culture refers to the home and the universal activities done in peoples’ homes. Obviously from culture to culture there exists a variation of ways where people eat, clean, teach, sleep, and rear children (amid the countless other activities). The Nuclear family is TRADITIONALLY viewed as the father, mother, and child(ren), and is universally accepted as the center of all domestic organization. The relationship between husband and wife is monogamous (i.e. one spouse exclusively for life). The nuclear family provides the functions/needs that cannot be fulfilled anywhere else (Murdock 1973): • Satisfaction of sexual needs that diminishes competition within groups • The guarantee of safety of females during pregnancy and early infant development • Education and enculturation for the next generation • Subsistence is more efficient: gender and family roles dictate who does each task (household work, child-rearing, education, provider, etc.) The traditional nuclear family, however is NOT the ideal model, nor is it always the accepted or rational practice for many cultural groups. Our (U.S.) idea of the traditional nuclear family is derived from the Western European-Christian model. But many alternative forms exist that fulfill the same functions as the traditional model. ALTERNATIVES TO THE NUCLEAR FAMILY AND MONOGAMY: • Single parent (usually mother) and child(ren): also known as matrifocal households—usually...

...There are many factors that affect children’s development such as their growth, sleep, diet, their medical condition such as disease and illness and most of all the environment. The environment is a place where children grow up and also the place where their learning begins. An enabling environment is outdoors as well as indoors where children are provided with space, resources, displays, accessibility and stability. These are designed to help children’s physical, emotional, mental and health and well-being. An enabling environment is where a child feels unique and where their learning is supported. The environment helps each child to be “a competent learner from birth who can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured” (EYFS (2007)...
