Such a situation, when the child is confused day and night, is conventionally called the "disease of the inverted mode", and it is not very impact on the child and his physical health, but can significantly undermine the moral and mental state parents. But due to the fact that adults have to live also in public life, go to work and go to sleep at night, you must somehow decide to create a problem.
In many ways, the desire to sleep in the evening is the result of the influence of certain factors:
· The amount of energy spent: the more energy is consumed per day the child, the greater the desire to relax in the evening;
· The duration and depth of sleep in the previous period: the longer a baby is not sleeping, the shorter and more superficial was his dream, the more he wants to sleep again;
· The relationship of sleep and food intake: after baby eats, he will sleep better.
The younger the child, the more important are the figures for him. They are especially important for children in their first year of life. It is also important to know that sleep naturally suffering in violation of the general state of health, for pain and fever, against the background of abdominal pain and nausea, skin itching. But when the disease inverted mode, all these factors are usually excluded, but the child does not want all the same to go to sleep at the proper time and prefers to stay awake at night.
May affect the microclimate in the bedroom - hot and dry air may disturb the process of falling asleep, hampering breathing. In addition, they can distract pets, dust, allergens, external stimuli - light, sound, noise from the street or from other rooms. But all these problems are eliminated, but the dream's disease inverted mode they do not improve.
What is the inverted mode of disease
The disease is an inverted mode does not occur abruptly, and in one day, with no previous events. Therefore, it is important to analyze all the events that took place prior to the sleep problems and begin to rectify the situation. If the child for one or two nights, not getting enough sleep, nature tries to compensate for the need for sleep due to a deeper a long sleep in the daytime and in the evening by a child who has recently awakened from an afternoon nap, just not ready again sleep. Therefore, this disease is not the child, but the problem of respect for parents mode. If they do not devote much time to build and maintain a strict regime of the day, as a result there night celebrations of the child, and the problem is gradually getting worse.
