The most current form of the schedules comes from the Gesell Institute of Child Development and is known as the Gesell Developmental Observation-Revised for ages 2 ½ to 9 years. [2] This assessment uses the principles of the schedules to determine the developmental age & stage of an any given child.
A 2018 review analysed 146 studies on infant sleep behavior and listed several factors that show an effect on sleep duration and the number of night awakenings. [22] However, research has indicated that frequent wakings are protective of SIDS. [23] Infant sleep is not linear, ebbing and flowing with developmental milestones and age. [24]

Parents become concerned much earlier than doctors. A study in 1980 asked parents and physicians the age that children should stay dry at night. The average parent response was 2.75 years old, while the average physician response was 5.13 years old. [60] Punishment is not effective and can interfere with treatment.
Sleep is a highly conserved behavior across animal evolution, [6] likely going back hundreds of millions of years, [7] and originating as a means for the brain to cleanse itself of waste products. [8] In a major breakthrough, researchers have found that this cleansing may be a core purpose of sleep. [9]
As part of addressing one of NSF's goals – that sleep science is rapidly incorporated into products and services – NSF launched the SleepTech program to advance innovations in sleep technology. [22] Each year the National Sleep Foundation recognizes innovative sleep products by giving out the SleepTech Awards, the world's first innovation ...
Sleep apnea (sleep apnoea or sleep apnœa in British English) is a sleep-related breathing disorder in which repetitive pauses in breathing, periods of shallow breathing, or collapse of the upper airway during sleep results in poor ventilation and sleep disruption.
NREM Stage 1 (N1 – light sleep, somnolence, drowsy sleep – 5–10% of total sleep in adults): This is a stage of sleep that usually occurs between sleep and wakefulness, and sometimes occurs between periods of deeper sleep and periods of REM. The muscles are active, and the eyes roll slowly, opening and closing moderately.
