If you have the habit of sleeping children giving them tablets, smartphones or other portable devices, know not to do so. A study by US researchers at the University of California, published in ‘Pediatrics’, suggests that those devices are more harmful to sleep than the TV itself.
Its habit to let your child fall asleep with a tablet or a smartphone? According to a US study, it is not advisable to do so.
A team of researchers from the University of California evaluated more than 2,000 children and concluded that sleep is impaired when the child uses those devices to night, falling asleep
Sleep becomes insufficient, which is justified with a reality:.. when using these devices creates the perception that the bed is not just a home environment
The study, which merit publication honors in the journal ‘Pediatrics’, dedicated to children’s medicine, compared the sleep of schoolchildren.
And drew a parallel between those using a tablet or a smartphone and children who require this type of equipment before bed.
Those who resort to such devices less sleep on average 21 minutes per night, compared to children whose parents do not allow them this technology in bed.
By the way, your chances of suffering other sleep disorders are higher in the case of minors who have access to tablets or a smartphone.
For children who resort to TV the problems are very similar.
but less severe. Sleep on average less than 18 minutes.
