The time it takes for boys to fall asleep remains the same between 10 and 12 years of age, according to new research. With these new findings, families and clinicians can expect that before the age of 12, children's sleep problems may be better explained by social and behavioral factors. Treatments of sleep problems in this age group may therefore focus on night-time fears, bedtime schedules and improving children's sleep environment.
The time it takes for boys to fall asleep remains the same between 10 and 12 years of age, according to new Flinders University research.
A new study led by Dr. Chelsea Reynolds, a Clinical Psychologist at Flinders University, has investigated when this change in sleepiness levels happens in pre-adolescent boys to better inform future therapies that can prevent sleep problems in adolescence. Dr. Chelsea Reynolds says that while biological changes during puberty can make adolescent sleep difficult, new findings show that these changes don't become a problem up to the age of 12."As you would expect, we found that the 10-year-old boys took a long time to fall asleep early in the night and fell asleep very quickly as the tests reached the early hours of the morning and they grew more tired.
