Sleep disorders in children in today's conditions.

Abstract

Sleep is an important, highly organized process of active brain activity, regulated by complex neural systems with the participation of neurotransmitters and plays an important role for human health and is exceptionally significant in childhood. The significance is due to its influence on the restorative function, reparative processes, normalization of energy potential, stimulates neoneurogenesis, and, most importantly, has an anti-stress effect and ensures the adaptation of the body to changing environmental conditions. During sleep, under the influence of the cerebral cortex, higher coordination of visceral functions, processing and memorization of information is carried out. This pathology has come to the forefront in recent years due to the increased level of stress in society, which has developed in connection with the global pandemic caused by the coronavirus, COVID-19, and the military invasion of the aggressor country, respectively. The first factor is associated with a significant number of social restrictions, and the second is stress associated with the horrors of war. It is generally known that childhood is extremely vulnerable to the effects of stress factors, which in turn have undoubtedly become leading factors in the formation of sleep disorders, anxiety and neurotic disorders in children. Anxiety is an emotional state accompanied by the expectation of a dangerous or negative event and is a component of the impact of chronic stress on a child. The aim of the study. The purpose of our work was to analyze children's sleep in today's conditions and identify negative influencing factors.
