Sleeping Late into the Morning Is Detrimental to Children’s Growth

The height of children is related to the secretion of growth hormone as well as to the factors of genetics, nutrition, and physical fitness.

Generally, growth hormone is generated when a person sleeps.

It begins to form most actively an hour or so after you fall into deep sleep and, in general, its secretion is in full vigor from 22:00 to 1:00 next day.

Therefore, regular sleeping is essential for the regular secretion of growth hormone.

Excessive oversleeping can interfere with the growth and development of children.
