How lack of sleep affects your baby's brain and personality

A leading researcher on temperament in infants and young children once said in despair, “When I raised my first child, I believed behavioral theories claiming that what I do as a parent molds my child’s character. With my second child, I was already a geneticist and believed that a child is born with characteristics that are passed on through heredity and that environmental influence is minimal. I barely knew my third child at all...” This analysis was, of course, exaggerated, but it demonstrates the ongoing quest of parents and scientists to answer this question: what determines the personality and personal characteristics of the child?

The question of heredity (“She got her shyness from her dad’s family”) versus environment (“If his mother were more strict with him, he would be calmer”) underlies parents’ attempts to understand the range of influence they have in molding their child. Up-to-date research points to a complex picture: the influence of heredity and environment on the child. Much evidence suggests that the baby is born with genetic baggage that not only determines how he looks, the color of his eyes, and his chances of suffering from various diseases but also significantly influences the character traits that he or she will develop.

Physical activity level, shyness or sociability, openness to new situations, and anxiety are among the traits that are related to the genetic predisposition with which babies enter the world. Many parents discover that their child has traits that are undesirable to them—especially if they remind them of qualities they dislike about their parents, their spouses, or themselves. Parents frequently try to fight these traits, but they often discover that it is a losing battle. It seems that the most important variable that influences the quality of the relationship between parents and children is the “goodness of fit” between the child’s traits and the parents’ expectations.

A very active child, for example, may be adored by a father who appreciates and identifies with this trait but merely tolerated by a father who expects a calmer child. On the other hand, a quiet, calm child may be considered depressive or lifeless by the first father, while the second father sees her as perfect. Incompatibility between parental expectations and the child’s traits may lead to frustration and stress in the relationship, particularly if the parents try to “correct” the child to conform to their expectations.

The Relationship Between Temperament And Sleep

Every parent is familiar with the situation in which her child demonstrates by his behavior that he

“is up past his bedtime.”

When scientists asked parents to describe this situation, some said that the child calms down, seems sleepy, falls asleep on his own, or asks directly or indirectly to go to bed. Other parents said that their child in this situation

“climbs the walls,”

“is a crybaby,”

“is nervous and unhappy with everything,”

“doesn’t respond to what he’s told,”

or

“simply does annoying things.”

Clearly, young children react to tiredness in significantly different ways. A state of fatigue is not necessarily expressed by decreased activity and obvious sleepiness. Sometimes the symptoms can be just the opposite. Some of the typical

“negative”

behaviors of the tired child are compatible with general patterns that characterize behavior disorders. Much evidence points to a strong correlation between sleep and the development of the child’s personality traits. Studies have shown that a baby who suffers from sleep disorders (difficulty falling asleep, for example, or many awakenings during the night) tends to be

“more difficult”

in other behavioral domains.

In a study conducted in several sleep laboratories, scientists compared a group of nine- to twenty-four-month-old babies whose parents had come for a consultation about their children’s sleep problems with a control group of babies without sleep disorder – not surprisingly, what they found is significant differences in the traits that the mothers attributed to babies. The mothers completed a temperament questionnaire, which is a sort of

“personality”

test for young children.

The mothers rated their degree of agreement with such sentences as

“The child agrees to be dressed and undressed without protesting,”

“The child responds strongly (screams, yells) when frustrated,”

and

“The child sits quietly when waiting to eat.”

In general, the mothers of babies with sleep problems described them as more demanding, complaining, annoying, negatively sensitive to different stimuli, and difficult to adapt to different situations, as compared with babies without sleep problems. One of the traits measured in the temperament questionnaire is the degree of sensitivity or responsivity of the baby to different sensory stimuli (noise, temperature, taste, smell). Some babies are very sensitive to any kind of sensory stimulus, and others are sensitive only to a specific type of sensation—for example, those who recoil from skin contact.

A wide range of babies do not respond in an outstanding way to sensory stimuli. One of the hypotheses that the researcher William Carey examined in 1974 was that babies who suffer from hypersensitivity to sensory stimuli would tend to develop sleep difficulties. Carey’s findings supported the hypothesis, and he claimed that the heightened sensitivity to sensory stimuli is hereditary.

In order to fall asleep, the baby has to disassociate himself from the external environment and stop responding to people, noise, light, and temperature, and to disassociate from internal signals as well, such as pain, discomfort, and hunger. This ability to disassociate is most critical for maintaining uninterrupted sleep and for preventing awakenings in response to various stimuli.

A baby who is sensitive from birth to any internal or external stimulus will have trouble disassociating from environmental stimuli, which will interfere with his ability to relax and fall asleep easily and will cause him to awaken easily and frequently over the course of the night.

This correlation between sleep and behavior continues throughout later childhood.

Studies that examined school-aged children found a correlation between sleep disorders and problems with behavior and more general adaptation. Actually, sleep disorders serve as a sensitive barometer of general adaptation problems among children and adults. Sleep disorders are a prominent sign of stress and anxiety, depression, and adaptation problems. Sleep problems are so prevalent in some behavior or emotional disorders that they have been included in diagnostic criteria. One factor that strengthens a diagnosis of anxiety disorders in a child, for example, is the presence of a sleep disorder.

The close correlation between sleep disorders and behavior problems in children can be explained in a number of ways. Perhaps a child born with a tendency toward problematic behavior develops sleep problems as well, as a result. At the same time, it is reasonable to believe that significant sleep problems will lead to insufficient sleep or sleep deprivation, which may cause the child to be nervous, impatient, and harder to manage.

In addition, a third cause, such as incompatible parenting patterns, may provoke or aggravate both behavior problems and sleep difficulties. In treatment centers, scientists frequently come across babies or young children who are described by their parents as hyperactive. The parents use this term casually, but professionals use it to diagnose a condition—the professional term is attention deficit hyperactivity disorder— that occurs only in older children.

These babies are described as especially active and restless and are said to demand attention and seek stimuli constantly. Often parents associate their child’s sleep difficulties with his wakeful restlessness. Occasionally a parent says something like, “This boy has a turbo engine and he cannot shut it down at bedtime,” or “He is like the Energizer bunny; he keeps going and going and going.” Although hyperactivity is diagnosed at a later age, there is evidence that most hyperactive children were overactive, restless babies, with difficult temperaments.

Again, we face a chicken-or-egg question: are these babies unable to sleep like “normal” babies because they are unusually active, or does their sleep problem underlie their

“hyperactivity”

? In many cases sleep disruption appears to lead to “hyperactive” behavior patterns, even though no research has directly confirmed this fact. More and more evidence demonstrates that lack of sleep may bring on behavior that resembles that of a hyperactive child. From an intuitive perspective we can all recall methods we use to keep ourselves awake when we are tired.

These methods include increasing our activity, fidgeting, fiddling with our hands or our facial muscles, and similar strategies. This pattern contradicts the expectation that the tired child will relax and slow down. The clinical literature has documented certain cases in which significant sleep problems have been found to lead to

“hyperactive”

behavior patterns and later to a wrong diagnosis and treatment.

It is of utmost importance to examine the possibility that the sleep disorder is the source and not the outcome of the

“hyperactivity.”

In the event that a sleep disorder exists, it should be treated before treating the disorders that result from it. In some cases treating the sleep disorder may spare the child from receiving unnecessary medication like Ritalin, which is the most prescribed chemical response to children’s behavioral problems.

An erroneous interpretation of a child’s behavior can also result when she responds to a sleep disorder with heightened tiredness, indifference, and lack of interest in the environment. This pattern may be interpreted as depression, and sleep difficulties can be seen as the result of that condition.

As the professional literature reveals, such an erroneous diagnosis can result in a failure to detect and treat a primary sleep disorder, as well as mistaken treatment for depression. Case studies have shown that when the problem is diagnosed correctly as a primary sleep disorder and treated accordingly, there is a parallel improvement in sleep and disappearance of the

“depressive”

symptoms.

Intellectual Development

Assessing intelligence in infancy is a very complex task. Tests used on infants to assess early mental abilities that could be considered components of intelligence have generally failed to predict intelligence or cognitive abilities and achievements in later ages.

The research on the relation between sleep and intellectual development has been hampered by our limited capacity to assess intelligence in infants. Efforts to study this issue have failed to provide a clear picture of the situation, and we need to call upon additional studies on older children and adults to help us consider the issue more systematically.

Scientists from the University of Connecticut in Evelyn Thoman’s group, which has contributed significantly to the field of the study of infant sleep, examined this question. They followed sleep of newborns over the course of their first two days of life and examined their development at the age of six months.

Special recording devices documented the babies’ sleep in hospital bassinets after birth. The scientists then tested the mental, motor, and perceptual abilities of the babies at the age of six months, using the Bayley Test. They found a correlation between sleep measures of the newborns on their first day of life and their development six months later. Some scientists found a correlation between sleep disorders in infancy, especially those that are caused by respiratory problems, and possible shortfalls in intellectual development and academic achievements at a later age. Other studies, however, found no comprehensible correlation between sleep and later mental function.

Studies on older children and adults have shown that sleep disorders or insufficient sleep primarily interfere with cognitive abilities associated with attention and concentration. That is to say that the ability to focus on certain stimuli for extended time deteriorates. People who don’t get enough sleep react more slowly and make more mistakes on tasks that demand attention and continuous concentration. Although the question of sleep and attention has not been directly studied in infants, some support for their correlation comes from indirect approaches. For example, mothers described their babies (aged nine to twenty-four months) who suffered from sleep problems as having trouble concentrating on play or a particular activity for an extended length of time, and as easily distracted by other stimuli.

In another recent study, sleep scientists examined the relationship between sleep patterns and learning skills, concentration, and attention among school-aged children. The sleep patterns of the children were examined objectively by using sleep watches, and their learning functions were examined by computerized tests. Similar to the results in studies of adults, they found that children whose quality of sleep deteriorated (as manifested by many or lengthy awakenings from sleep during the night) also had decreased attention abilities.

These findings support the assumption that these critical functions for learning and academic achievement are adversely affected by sleep disorders among children. Furthermore, recent studies have shown that if “normal” children are requested to shorten their sleep for experimental purposes, they suffer negative consequences, and their learning and attention abilities are significantly compromised.

On the basis of what we have learned about older children and adults and from the limited information on infants, it is fair to conclude that the intellectual abilities of infants are challenged by disrupted or insufficient sleep.

How Baby Sleep Disorders Affect Your Little Bundle of Joy

Babies are truly a miracle and are fragile when they are first born. They require constant attention and care during their first year of life. Sleep is vital for their growth and development. A newborn baby averages sixteen hours of sleep a day and they get the amount they need in thirty minute to three hour segments. The amount they get is normally evenly dispersed between day and night. Most babies wake throughout the night to feed until they are around eight months old. When they are breast fed, they are more likely to wake and do so more often. They may have trouble sleeping for many easily resolved reasons including hunger, dirty diaper, sickness, pain, and frustration.

Even though it may be hard to believe, babies just as older children and adults can suffer from a sleep disorder. The types they suffer from are more limited and range from mild to severe. Parasomnias, obstructive sleep apnea, and SIDS are the most common disorders found among babies. Night terrors and sleep walking are parasomnias. They are not found in babies less than eighteen months. When they do occur, their sleep pattern is disrupted and they do not get the sleep they need.

Obstructive sleep apnea is found in adults and children, but the symptoms for babies and older children are quite different. Babies will continuously snore when sleep and breathe through their mouth. Their air passage can become completely blocked causing them to stop breathing. This is a very dangerous condition that can greatly stunt their development and be deadly if not treated. The cause for this disorder is normally enlarged tonsils and removing them will remedy it.

SIDS or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome is one of the scariest disorders every parent does their best to prevent. A baby suffering from SIDS stops breathing while asleep. They have to be encouraged to resume breathing. It is not something they automatically start doing again on their own. Certain genetic and environmental elements have been linked to this condition, but the overall cause has not been determined. Babies who are more at risk are set up with monitoring systems. These systems alert the parents as to when they have stopped breathing. Several things can be done to reduce the chances of SIDS from developing in an infant. First, a baby should always sleep on their back and have a firm mattress. No fluffy comforters or stuffed animals should be left in the bed with them while they are sleeping. A baby sleep system can be used to prevent them from turning over while sleeping.

The best way to determine if your little one is having sleep issues from a sleep disorder is to be aware of their sleep patterns. If you notice any changing in their sleeping habits, all concerns need to be discussed with their pediatrician. When a baby does not get a sufficient amount of sleep can cause them to be cranky and be harmful to their development if not resolved. A pediatrician can evaluate any changes and determine if your child is suffering from one of these baby sleep disorders.

Babies naturally have odd sleep patterns and are up off and on during the entire day and night. Sometimes a sleep disorder can disrupt their already odd hours and prevent them from getting the sleep they need. Sleep apnea is a more serious condition often caused by enlarged tonsils that can affect your babies breathing. This condition along with SIDS and parasomnias can affect your baby's growth and development if they do not get enough sleep for prolonged periods of time. If your little one has had a large change in their normal sleep routine and is not getting enough rest, it is time to discuss your concerns with their pediatrician.

Here's the PROVEN, FAST, FUN, EASY, and CHEAP way to RID YOURSELF of Nasty smelly, expensive diapers - FOREVER!

Potty-Train Your Child TOMORROW and Have Fun Doing It!

As the parent of a toddler, I'll bet you just can't WAIT for the day when you won't have to change another diaper. It just can't get here fast enough, right?

I know that when my son was two years old, changing his stinky, loaded diaper was NOT at the top of my "Things I Love Most About Motherhood" list!

Let's face it...our children provide us with many beautiful, life-long memories, but the weight and smell of pee- and poop-soaked diapers won't be one of them! Not to mention the incredible expense - diapers can cost $80, $100, or MORE each month!

Here's the thing, though. While you look forward to the day when your little angel will wear "big boy" or "big girl" underpants, you're also just not sure about how (or when!) to potty-train your child. Don't worry, though, because you are NOT alone!

Unfortunately, Everyone Seems to Have a Different Potty Training Method...

For example, you may have heard about the technique where you let your child wander around the house and yard - butt naked! - with the intention that your little one is supposed to have accidents (on himself AND your furniture), at which time you'll provide "positive discipline" and "reassuring guidance."

I've heard this method called the "Naked and $75 Method" because your child runs around "naked" and you pay "$75" for carpet cleaning when it's all over...

Sorry, but as a mother, I'm not about to let my child run around naked, peeing and pooping on himself and everything in sight. And I'm pretty sure decent carpet cleaning costs more than seventy-five bucks! Especially when you consider what you're asking the carpet cleaner to remove...YUCK!

No, to potty-train your toddler...

Wonderful Testimonials from Delighted Parents of Potty-Trained Toddlers...

Dear Kim,

I just wanted to thank you for your book. As I mentioned to you before, my son turned 2 over the summer and he is now completely potty trained. We're expecting a new baby in December and the stress of having to worry about potty training and bringing in a newborn is now gone! Not to mention that we only have to buy diapers for one now.

You had asked me to jot down how we got Jack to use the potty... well, we set aside Friday (our fun day) in the morning to do this. I felt ready for the task, but I was also scared to death. We had a great time that morning and followed the plan exactly as you laid out. I couldn't believe it when it was time for Jack to use the potty...I think it was less than 2 hours after we started! He has done so well since that day. He doesn't even need pull-ups at night!

Thank you so much again. Best of luck with everything!

Sincerely,

Sharon C.

Cape St. Claire, PA

I appreciate the nice feedback, Sharon! And here's another one...

Hi Kim!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Words can't even describe how excited I am that my daughter Amanda is finally potty trained. We have struggled with this since she turned two, and even though I felt she was ready then, I can see now that I wasn't doing the right things to get her to use the toilet. After almost six months of torture, it took only one day (less than a day, actually) of your method and Amanda is finally "there"!

I've recommended your book to about a dozen friends and family members and I do hope they'll order from you. I told them that one of the best parts is that it's such an easy method to learn and that I actually read everything I needed to know in about 20 minutes. A couple of them were skeptical, but they've seen how Amanda is now completely diaper-free and they also see how proud and happy she is to use the potty. She feels like a "big girl" now!

She did have one little accident in the middle of the night about a week after we trained, but I think it was because she was overtired that day and slept right through the urge to pee. Other than that, though, she has been in underpants with no accidents -- day and night!

In a few months, it'll be my son's turn and you can be sure I'm going to use your method again! Thanks so much again, Kim! I can't tell you how much easier life is now!

Hugs,

Jennifer A.

Park City, UT

Happy to help, Jen! I've enjoyed keeping in touch with you...

And here's another!

Dear Kim,

I never in a million years thought that I would ever enjoy the potty training experience, but I really did. My little boy and I had a ball following your book, and we followed it to the letter! Between the hopping and the laughing and the dancing, we had a blast! Who knew that such a daunting task could be so much fun? And by the end of the day, he was in underpants and completely dry. That was two weeks ago and he hasn't had one issue yet. I couldn't be happier or more proud! Thank you so, so much!

(My husband thanks you, too, because he changed our little boy more than half the time because of my work schedule. So you've got two huge fans here in Michigan!)

I'll be sure to recommend your book to anyone I know who needs to potty train their child!

Thanks again!

Kathy C.

Flint, MI

I'm glad that hubby's a fan, too! I always enjoy hearing success stories like yours, Kathy...

Now, you don't have to be envious of fantastic results like these. You can HAVE THEM TOMORROW, but only if you order your potty-training book TODAY!
