The benefits of sleep for healthy cognitive and physical development

Sleep is an essential part of life for all ages, but it is especially important for babies 6-12 months old. During this time of development, adequate sleep is essential for healthy physical and cognitive growth.

Better overall physical development

Physical Development Sleep plays an important role in physical development for babies 6-12 months old. During this time, babies are growing rapidly and need adequate rest to fuel this growth.

 

Studies have shown that babies that get more sleep have better overall physical development. They are likely to be more active, have better muscle tone and coordination, and have better balance and reflexes.

Regulate body temperature and metabolism

Sleep also helps babies regulate their body temperature and metabolism. This helps them regulate their weight as they grow, and can help them maintain a healthy body composition.

Cognitive development

Sleep is also essential for cognitive development. Babies 6-12 months old are learning new skills and information every day, and sleep helps them process and retain this information.

 

Studies have shown that babies that get more sleep are more alert, have better problem-solving skills, and have better memory and concentration.

Regulates emotions

Sleep also helps babies regulate their emotions. Studies have shown that babies that get more sleep are better able to regulate their emotions, which can help them in their development of social skills.
