North needs more time to sleep / night, there is no equality
14th December 2009 - As Germany's sleeping like babies and their
parents to live with it - that shows the representative PARENTS Survey
(current issue 1 / 2010 from 16.12.2009 in the trade). The Forsa
polling institute surveyed more than 1,000 mothers and fathers: How
long the child sleeps? When it comes to bed? How often wakes up at
night?
In terms of sleep are easy to care for children, a clear minority
watch 86 percent of infants (0-6 months) at least once during the
night, a quarter of these children (24%) three times or more. But
still: 13 percent of the youngest children to sleep. With age, it is
also for the parents, whose children often cry, better: Between 13 and
18 months already asleep by 38 percent. Only a few waking more
frequently than twice per night (8% more than three times).
Baby days are "My child needs at least 16 hours of sleep per day"
waking hours much - say 39 percent of parents surveyed infant. Only
about one in ten infants (9%), according to the parents need eleven
hours sleep or less. On average, infants sleep every day to 15 hours,
in the second half year of life about 13 hours. At least the North
German babies to sleep: 11 percent sleep up to 11 hours (compared to
Germany's mid-4%).
To the east is work early two-thirds (66%) of children aged 18
months 19 to 20 clock put to bed. To the east of the republic is also
more common for children 19 clock closing time than in other regions
(28% vs. the East. For example, 12% in North Rhine-Westphalia, 13%
middle). Amazing: The older the children the sooner, the light is
identified - this is true for all provinces.
Have difficulty sleeping north-south gradient to 63 percent of
infants and young children in Germany only need up to ten minutes
until they fall asleep, in a quarter (26%), the sleep time between
eleven and 20 minutes. Only 6 percent of children need regularly for
longer than 20 minutes. Striking across countries: especially many
children have difficulty falling asleep in the north. Here, take 18
percent longer than 20 minutes. In NRW, and center is only half as
many (9%), even in the south, only 8 percent. But no matter how long
it takes for them to sleep - the night's rest for 86 percent of child
begins always with the same ritual. Long-running children's bedrooms
are songs in German (52%) and bedtime stories (42%).
Baby in bed - between stopgap of conviction and 22 percent of
surveyed parents leave their child in the first six months sleeping in
another room, 64 percent of babies have their own crib in her parents'
bedroom. Of the one-year, 72 percent sleep in another room. But twelve
percent of all infant mothers and fathers to share their bed with
their baby. This group itself is only slightly smaller in the second
year. This results in the so-called co-sleeping for 43 percent of the
belief that it was "the best for the child." Almost as many parents
(41%) take the baby just "forced" to bed. When the Fathers say even 56
percent (vs. 32% women). In the northern provinces comparatively most
children sleep in his parents' bed (16%), the fewest in the East (8%).
At night there is no equality in the children in two of three
cases (62%) it is the mothers who stand up to calm the children at
night. In the pairs, which share the calming night, the views on the
assistance of the partner apart, however: only 33 percent of mothers
say that they share the night calming the child with the partner. But
44 percent of men.
Baby alarm in the night can not cloud parental joys say only four
percent of parents with babies 0-18 months: "The sleep behavior of our
child charged us very much." For 35 percent it represents a small
load, 60 percent do not feel impaired. Interestingly, the ratio in
retrospect another: Because 21 percent of parents say children over 18
months, the sleep patterns of their baby they have loaded in the first
18 months very much. Five times more than those who find themselves in
the middle of the acute phase. Fortunately, the sleep problems even
when the person concerned only three percent of respondents trigger
for conflict with the partner.
Moreover, in the current issue of PARENTS 01/2010: An interview
with the renowned sleep researcher Prof. Jürgen Zulley, director of
the sleep of Regensburg Medical Center.
