Entire day you've been running around to assure that everything is managed well. Whether it is home or office, you work with perfection.

However, seniors above the age of 65 years, work less because they are getting weaker and therefore, due to less exercise their sleep hours reduce.

Hence, here is the chart that elaborates the number of hours a person must sleep at a certain age-

• Newly born needs around 14 to 17 hours of sleep which is generally recommended, but even if they sleep around 11-13 hours or more than 17 hours, then there isn't any harm. This is because their organs are still weak and any kind of exertion can be harmful for their lungs and brain.

• Infants around 4 to 11 months have just started crawling, so they're pretty excited about their new change. They need at least 12 to 15 hours of sleep which can vary two hours here and there.

• Toddlers of around 2 years old have just started moving on their legs and are excited about their independence of doing anything mischievous. The more they run and stay active the more is the inbuilt growth hence, the hours of rest that they need is 11 to 14 hours which can again, fluctuate two hours here and there.

• Preschool kids of the age 3 to 5 years are generally tired because of too much brain storming, even at school they are given physical exercises for their growth hence, when they come home they need proper rest and even early night sleep is healthy. Hence, get them sleep of at least 10 to 13 hours, it can increase, but can't reduce because as it is most of their time is being utilized in attending school and homework.

• 6 to 13 year old kids concentrate more on education and they get less of physical activity, a lot of stress about homework and increasing assignments make them dull, so they need proper rest every day to assure that they get up fresh in the morning. A fresh start in the day helps them concentrate better, thus giving them sleep of 9-11 hours.

• Teenage means college time, with various kinds of activities, including exams, assignments, tuitions, lectures and excessive workload, this means less hours of sleep and more work, but whatever hours they sleep, that shouldn't be disturbing at all. Hence, they should get proper sleep of at least eight to ten hours.

It is therefore necessary that you follow these guides to help your child sleep properly. Few changes in your routine can change the environment of your children and correct their sleeping problems -

• It is not hidden from us that nowadays children are more stressed out than we were in our days this reduces their hours of rest every year.

• Kids aren't at the age where they understand the importance of anything apart from playing video games and jumping on bed and if they have parents who aren't regular with their routine, then nothing better than that. It is good to follow a fixed routine instead of waiting for your kid to rub his or her eyes, there should be a routine of completing homework, watching television and going to bed.

• It's a tendency of every kid to prolong time of going to bed because they love spending that glorious time with you where they don't have any books around and it is simply you and them. If you find your toddler behaving indifferently like painting or watching a video, then you need to be strict in telling them that it's time and other things can wait till tomorrow.

• Make sure not to get your kid into the habit of motion sleeping where you have to sway them to and fro so that they sleep otherwise they cry out loud for their swing. This habit can be tiresome for parents who work all day long and have no energy to hold their kids in hands to give them their favorite motion.

• Instead of ordering them to go to bed, make them feel that it is also something that they want. Let them choose their own pajamas, allow them to select their story book and trick them by giving them two or three more options that will make them believe that even though their independence is taken over, they too have some command on their parents.

• Remove all things like gadgets, colored lights, show pieces that emit rays etc. this can distract your kid and delay their sleep. However, too dark a room can bring fear and nightmares so you should always keep something on, like a fan, to make them sense safety.

• Don't engage in any activity before bedtime with your kid. You might think it is just for five minutes but these five minutes activity will be repeated every day even when you're tired or unwell and when you don't fulfill their wish you'll come to see tantrums.

• As our kids grow, we get ignorant about their routine thinking that they're sensible to manage it on their own, well that's where our kids start misbehaving as they get leverage of doing anything that they wish, which also includes late night watching television or playing video games. Don't skip your routine no matter how grown up your kid is.

• As your child grows so does their requirement and you'll have to shift them to a bigger bed. Initially, it might be difficult to get them accustomed with it, but don't get emotional when they start crying loud, if you once get in their trap you'll always have to follow their rules.
