Скачать или смотреть Dr Dad Explains: Does Late Sleeping Affect Your Child’s Height & Brain Development?

Does your child sleep late but still “completes” sleep?
Is late bedtime really affecting height, brain development, focus, and mood?

In this episode of Dr Dad Explains, we break down the real science of children’s sleep — not myths, not fear, but facts parents actually need.

Dr Dad explains how sleep timing, sleep duration, and sleep quality influence:

✔ Growth hormone release
✔ Height and physical development
✔ Brain function and learning
✔ Memory and emotional control
✔ Attention span and school performance
✔ Mood, irritability, and behaviour
✔ Weight gain and hunger hormones

Many parents think, “Bas late sota hai, sleep toh complete ho jaati hai.”
But research shows that late + short + irregular sleep can slowly affect a child’s growth quality and brain performance over time.

We also discuss:

• What deep sleep (slow-wave sleep) really does
• Why sleep debt makes kids look “lazy” or “careless”
• American Academy of Sleep Medicine sleep hour guidelines
• Why sleep problems are now a global child health concern
• The connection between sleep, obesity risk, and junk cravings
• Practical sleep rules parents can actually follow at home

This is not about strict parenting.
It’s about protecting your child’s brain and body during their most important growth years.

Because sometimes the problem isn’t attitude…
it’s sleep.
