By the age of 6 months a circadian rhythm is established and by the age of 1 year infants are usually sleeping mainly at night, with 1 or 2 naps during the day. The periods of deep sleep lengthen and there is a reduction in the amounts of active/REM sleep. Sleep patterns change during childhood and by the age of 5, children have EEG patterns that look like those of an adult but they are still sleeping more (around 12 hours a day) and having more REM activity (about 30% of total sleep time). Boys are also found to sleep slightly more than girls. As childhood progresses, the need for sleep decreases, but in adolescence it increases slightly, to around 9 or 10 hours a night.
Surveys show that teens rely on naps to make them more refreshed. You should only take at the maximum a 45 minute nap anything more than that disrupts your biological clock and this is what causes you to wake up angry or irritable from a nap. Other factors also play a role in getting good night’s sleep. For example, caffeine plays a huge part in not getting any sleep, 31% of adolescents surveyed said that they cannot sleep after drinking a caffeine drink before bed. Technology also has a huge role in not getting to sleep.

Explore some of the issues that may be associated with the practise of co-sleeping. After birth newborns sleep anywhere between 11 to 21 hours a day varying form infant to infant (Michalesson, et al., as cited in Hoffnung et al., 2010). This can affect not only the new born child but also the main care giver and/or other family members who are living with the infant. This can lead to the practise of co-sleeping. Co-sleeping is where a newborn sleeps in the same bed as a family member or main caregiver.
The bluish colour of the body quickly starts to turn pink as he/she starts to breathe. Once the baby starts to breathe the umbical cord can be cut down- separating mother and the baby’s body, this stage usually lasts about 2 hours.

The immune system consists of various protein molecules which are regenerated during cell growth and protein synthesis in SWS. REM sleep initiates brain repair. Infants have a greater proportion of REM sleep than adults, which suggests that REM sleep may be important to brain growth. Siegal suggests that the amount of REM sleep in any animal is proportional to the immaturity of the offspring at birth. For example platypus is immature at birth and has about 8 hours REM sleep, whereas dolphin which can swim from birth has almost no REM sleep, suggesting a
Some long term effects are breathing difficultys,deafness, heart failure, feeding problems and vision problems. The life expectancy of someone with this condition is very low because they barely make it through birth.Of the surviving children, approximately:28% die in first week, 44% die in first month, and 86-91% die in first year. Part 6: The only treatment available for surviving infants is surgery to correct physical defects. Surgery is only attempted when the infant reaches a certain age. There is no cure for Trisomy 13.The only special care needed for this disease is sleepless nights, correct alignment of the body,with having a cleft chin, a baby needs a special nipple for feeding.
