Already even ceased to say that the daytime sleep from the birth up to 6-7 years is important for children. And very in vain. Many parents began to forget about it.

The children who were not sleeping in the afternoon lost to themselves on all possible indicators. They collected puzzles more slowly, were quicker irritated, reacted to critical situations more sharply. Baby faces filmed also analizirovat on such emotions as: joy, grief, disappointment, interest, anger, shame, disgust. And so the children sleeping in the afternoon showed result 34% higher, than not sleeping on all positive emotions. 39% below on negative.
Scientists note that most often loss of a daytime sleep happens in a vozresta of 2- or 3rd for the reason that parents lose control over the child and cannot put him to bed. At this age at children the strategy of emotional behavior, experience, laying of deep feelings are formed.
