When you see children having difficulty falling asleep or in some cases having issues staying asleep at night, it usually is a cause for concern. Parents have to deal with this every night to make sure their child is sleeping soundly. Sleep is important for children to grow and regenerate. However, if a child is having difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep then their progress and growth rate, including their brain development could be greatly affected.
Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder or also known as ASD often show signs related to sleeping difficulty. Families that are affected exhibits at least 80% of children with ASD shows significant sleep problems.
“These treatment results have been accepted by families that are experiencing this type of disorder in falling asleep especially in children with autism.”
If it is regularly taken, a dose of “Melatonin” every night can definitely help children that have ASD and insomnia. Melatonin is a type of hormone generated by our pineal gland located in our brain. This very gland is the main reason for us falling asleep and waking up. It is what we normally call our “Body Clock” which regulates how much melatonin is needed to be generated. On a normal basis, melatonin increases from mid-evening till late-night, then it is constantly on high levels throughout the evening and decreases when morning comes.
Light sources also plays a part when our pineal gland is producing melatonin. This is also true with age, could become less over time, since natural production of melatonin becomes less and less as we age.
“For children with ASD, insufficient sleep greatly affects daily activities as well as their daytime behaviour.”
Children with ASD are normally producing less melatonin, thus resulting in difficulty falling asleep or insomnia. Once they are asleep, their melatonin level is fluctuating so they have issues staying asleep as well. However, by providing the right dosage of melatonin every night you can gradually see the difference every time your child goes to sleep. It is a very reassuring moment when you see them go to bed easily.

(HealthDay)—Sleep deprivation does not exacerbate cognitive impairment induced by hypoglycemia, but the post-hypoglycemia recovery takes longer with persistence of both cognitive dysfunction and hypoglycemia symptoms, according to a study published online March 22 in Diabetes Care.
Berit E. Inkster, from the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom, and colleagues assessed 14 adults with type 1 diabetes who underwent a hyperinsulinemic, hypoglycemic clamp on two separate occasions. Before one clamp, participants were sleep-deprived. Read more.

Too many children are being incorrectly diagnosed with asthma, with inhalers being dispensed for no good reason and becoming almost “fashion accessories”, say two specialists in the illness.
Prof Andrew Bush and Dr Louise Fleming warn that although steroid inhalers are life-saving when used properly, their side-effects should not be ignored.
And they call for more objective, careful diagnoses.
Meanwhile charity Asthma UK says better tests are urgently needed.
‘Significant problem’
In the UK, about 5.4 million people currently receive treatment for asthma – 1.1 million of whom are children.
Writing in the journal Archives of Disease in Childhood, the two respiratory doctors from Imperial College and the Royal Brompton Hospital in London acknowledge that asthma can be a fatal condition that was once not being diagnosed enough.

We’ve all heard the phrase “laughter is the best medicine,” and you may have had the experience when a good belly laugh felt like you just took an emotional jog around the block. Many of us are together daily and have been together for years, knowing each other well. Connecting with each other on a daily basis is important. Take time each day to enjoy your relationships through laughing or having lunch together.

Exercise may cancel out the effects of sitting all day the office. New research reveals that regular physical activity may help lower the risk of health problems associated with sitting for long periods of time in office workers.
Researchers from the University of Leicester said that the latest findings highlight the importance of physical activity in maintaining and improving health. Study findings show that people who don’t exercise and spend too much time sitting are significantly more likely to have poor health and have a higher risk of developing diabetes and heart disease.
While previous studies have linked higher levels of sedentary behavior to poorer health and higher levels of physical activity to better health, researchers noted that that not much research has been done to understand the health effects of the combination of sedentary and physical activity behaviors.
