    2. 2 Sleep in Infancy Development of sleep Cross cultural differences in sleep behavior Infant Apnea and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome This presentation explores the development of sleep during infancy and cross cultural differences in infant sleep behavior. The sleep of infants and children has unique features that slowly evolve into the adult characteristics of sleep. There are developmental changes in sleep patterns (how much and when infants sleep), sleep states (Active-REM and Quiet-NREM sleep) and sleep architecture (the distribution of the states throughout a 24 hour cycle). Newborns sleep approximately 70% of a 24 hour cycle. The average newborn will sleep approximately 16 hours per day but there is individual variation (range, 14 – 18 hours). Newborns sleep for approximately 3 – 4 hours at a time and are awake for approximately 1 – 2 hours. Sleep occurs randomly during the day and night.This presentation explores the development of sleep during infancy and cross cultural differences in infant sleep behavior.
