The “baby sleep” is one of the most important and interesting aspects of his development during his first year of life. It is normal for a baby to sleep for up to 16 hours, although 50 percent of that time his brain remains active.
While the baby sleeps, his organism performs essential functions for his optimal development, for example his intellectual abilities are reinforced. Also during sleep, the baby secretes more of a hormone known as "growth hormone." This means that sleeping well helps the baby to grow.
Something very curious is that while the “adults sleep” is made up of 5 parts, “babies sleep” only has 2.
