Document Summary
Many have symptom issues that increase risk for psychopathology in some way (outcomes, treatment, etc. ) New borns sleep 16-20 hours per day on average (wake up 1. 5-4 hours food) Magic number to sleep through the night 12 lbs (most will sleep through the night since stomach large enough to hold enough nutrition) 1 year olds at least 12 hours of sleep in every 24 hour period. 2 phases/stages of sleep: rem sleep. Babies have vast rem sleep; the older you get. You have less and less rem sleep over time (elderly almost have no rem sleep: non-rem sleep (has multiple stages; not so important for child psychopathology) Are common sleep problems (not a disorder) In babies that don"t sleep well, part of the reason because they don"t know how to self-soothe. At the end of sleep cycle, are close to consciousness at the end of the cycle (any noise during that period can wake up that individual)
