For new parents, the happiest moment is when your baby sleeps soundly. But most of the time, that peace of mind is disrupted when your baby cries at midnight, even after just a few minutes of sleep. It's this problem that leads to fatigue and anxiety.
Lurking behind your baby's disturbed sleep is a scientific phenomenon called Micro-Awakenings. Omazz will take you today through this phenomenon and deliver solutions, which attack the root cause to rebuild peaceful sleep for the entire family.
What Are Micro-Awakenings and Why Should Parents Know
Micro-Awakenings, or "short arousals," are times when the brain wakes up for just a few seconds between sleep cycles. Adults usually roll over or shift around a bit and fall asleep again without even knowing it.
But for little kids and infants, the sleep cycles are short and contain a higher percentage of "Light Sleep." This causes Micro-Awakenings more frequently, and they cannot fall asleep again on their own, i.e., waking up and crying in the middle of the night.
Reasons Behind Your Baby's Night Wakings Because of Micro-Awakenings
- Immature Sleep Cycles Infants sleep in brief cycles compared to adults and thus have multiple brief arousals within a single evening, which is a natural part of their development.
- Uncomfortability
- Room temperature too hot or too cold.
- Wet diaper, which causes sticky and uncomfortable feeling.
- Inadequate mattress that is either too hard or too soft without proper ventilation, causing heat or dampness.
- External Stimuli Infants' ears and eyes are sensitive. Too loud sudden sound or too intense light can wake the brain entirely during a Micro-Awakening.
- Hunger Mainly for newborns, their tummies are small and have to wake up for milk every 2–3 hours.
How to Fix Your Baby's Night Wakings at the Source
Once aware of the causes, the optimum solution is to furnish a quiet and still sleeping space, including:
- Maintaining a room temperature of 24–26 °C.
- Wearing highly absorbent diapers and removing them at once when soiled.
- Using an ergonomically supported, breathy, and not heat-retentive mattress.
- Suppressing interruptions like disturbance or intense light.
