How Fans do More Than Keep Your Kids Cool in the Summer
Research shows that fans that create white noise help infants sleep and cut down on sudden infant death syndrome
VANCOUVER, BC, CANADA, July 23, 2010 /Health and Fitness PR News/ -- With the recent scorching temperatures across the country, when it comes to infant or toddler sleeping problems, having a fan in the room during the hot summer months does more than keep them cool. It creates an environment that helps children fall asleep, something that all parents and children can benefit from.
"Having a fan or a natural noise sleeping product in the room can be very beneficial. Not only do they keep cool but white noise creates a monotonous sound that will block out other noises and create a nice ambience for your baby or child to fall asleep to. It's especially good if you live in a noisy house, or have dogs barking in your neighbourhood and according to research, it may also reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome," says Dawnn Whittaker, an expert sleep consultant and parenting coach.
As most parents know, sleep is important, and if the overall quality of sleep is poor, it can be reflected in the parent and the child's physical, emotional, and mental well-being. With all the extra activities and stimulation families have in the summer months, employing white noise, or comforting ocean or wind sounds at night, can be of great benefit to their overall rest.
"If the forecast says it won't be going below 20 or 15 degrees Celsius, nobody in the family gets much sleep without a fan or some form of air conditioning. There is no singular plan that you can use repeatedly to ensure your infant or child's solid sleep in this type of weather, because you are working with behaviour; however in my experience, there are certainly simple methods that you can employ to help you cope when you feel overwhelmed," says Whittaker.
