“The development of the brain of a child by the three factors, including genetic factors, nutritional factors, stimulation, and sleep quality factors can be won,” said the child neurologist in the Department of Child Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine and Surgery, University of Indonesia, Dr. Widodo Dwi Putro SpA (K) mmed (Clean Neurosci).
The quality of sleep when the baby was sleeping in bed (), as the rapid growth of the brain during sleep in children. Sleep only sleep for 1 / 3 of all time, especially during the first hour.

Tryptophan (milk, can be produced, as dagingan meat) and tyrosine also serves to make children active sleep and slept soundly. DWI has said that if the children would sleep quality, development of the brain in an optimal way. And conversely, if the child has an active sleep disturbances, will affect the maturation of visual area of the brain.

Children have difficulty sleeping at night, if you have less than nine hours of sleep, woke up more than three times, and the old building more than an hour.
“The quality of sleep has a variety of functions for health,” he said during the XIV National Congress and Scientific Unity Gathering Nutritionist (Persagi) held in Indonesia, Frisian Flag Gramedia Expo, Surabaya.
In the brain, there are some areas, such as the baby slept and woke up. If the child was sleeping, the part that works is part of the brain stem, while the guard work) by the cortex (brain.
“) In addition to brain development and restoration of the reform (or restore the function, people may be good enough to sleep a happy person and always looks fresh,” he said.
