誕嬰首兩年父母睡少半年

KittyLeung74

照顧初生嬰兒令不少父母心力交瘁，英國一項調查發現在嬰兒出生首兩年，父母平均合計被剝奪六個月的睡眠，約一成最慘痛的家長平均每晚只有 2.5小時的連續睡眠，專家表示成年人普遍每晚需 7至 9小時睡眠，家長有一段時間也睡眠不足，小心最終會變成長期失眠。
調查由英國一個名為 Silentnight的機構進行，訪問了 1,000名育有嬰兒的父母，了解他們的睡眠情況，結果發現逾 6成人表示平均每晚只能連續睡約 3小時，一成人則只有 2.5小時連續睡眠。雖然照顧幼兒讓人極度疲累，但負責調查的睡眠專家鼓勵家長應抽空做運動，令腦部釋放可幫助調節情緒的腦內啡（ endorphins），減低因睡眠不足引發的情緒波動。調查又發現部份家長長時間睡眠受干擾後，即使子女日漸成長，不需要通宵照顧，也無法回復昔日的睡眠習慣，變成長期失眠。

各位快將成爸媽的老友記,赴BB未出世,瞓多啲!

最慘痛的家長平均每晚只有 2.5小時的連續睡眠..

Why that is 慘痛?  not mean TOTAL sleeping time is just 2.5 hr/ night wor ..

I still sleep ~ 8 hour every night, but break down to 2 or 3 sections .. ( 4/4 or 4/3/1 )

My wife still sleep 9-10 hr every night ..

No worry la.. not that bad to be parents ..

It is true.  Less sleep hours but too bad sleep hours cannot be banked.  0-3 months is almost 2-3 hours fragmented to total 5-6 hrs per night.  Later on will get better and better.  Fewer sleeper hours is a fact but if the quality of sleep is good, 6-7 hrs. should be ok.  

Worst time is when the baby is sick.  Happy long night.

great stuff to look forwards to

Somehow .. my son is the other way around .. he is ~ 14 month now .. he wakes up 3-4 times a night, want to play ball ball or "woo woo" etc .. if we don't sleep with him, he will walk to our room, and lay in the the middle of us anyway ..

When he was smaller, more independent ..  after "SICK" ( swine flu shot ) then he couldn't sleep well ..
