Children’s hospital builds sleep app

  An app to improve children’s sleep has been
launched by doctors at the Evelina Children’s Hospital in
London. It gives personalized advice to parents of 0-16
year-olds to tackle the different sleeping problems that
[5] crop up at different ages. It is currently available free on
iOS. Android and Windows versions will follow.
  Initial advice starts after entering details about
bedtimes, where the child falls asleep, how much screen
time they have, and caffeinated drinks consumption. After
[10] five days of recording a child’s sleep habits, such as
night-waking and bedtimes, the full personalized service
kicks in. “Hopefully they are sleeping in the normal
range, but if they’re outside that, then it advises parents,”
Paul Gringras, a professor of children’s sleep medicine
[15] at the hospital, told the BBC News website. “Take a
five-year-old who suddenly is waking up every night
screaming, doesn’t recognise parents and pushes them
away. The app would say it is like a night terror and will
happen in 10% of children in this age range and they will
[20] grow out of it, but parents can also try a technique called
scheduled waking half an hour after they have gone to
bed.”
  In another scenario, the Kids Sleep Doctor would
advise parents of teenagers unable to sleep until really
[25] late at night (and are then too tired for school) that
exercise in the afternoon is as powerful as any drug for
promoting sleep. “These are not annoying daily tips, it’s
tailored advice,” Prof Gringras added. The app has been
designed in a dark and orange palette to minimize the
[30] amount of blue light emitted — which is the wavelength
of light that most disrupts sleep.
  The app has also been designed to reduce
pressures on the health service rather than make money.
“I think there’s a lot of people it could prevent needing to
[35] see a doctor. Parents can do a brilliant job,” added Prof
Gringras. However, the roughly 200,000 children with
serious sleep disorders such as narcolepsy or obstructive
sleep apnoea would need to see a doctor.
  Psychologist and child therapist Professor Tanya

[40] Byron commented: “Many children are affected by sleep
problems which can have a major effect on the whole
family. “Getting a good night’s sleep is so important for
a child’s physical and mental development, behavior and
concentration — to name but a few. “We know parents
[45] know their children better than anyone, and I’m confident
that the ‘Kids Sleep Dr’ app will help parents to understand
and better manage their child’s sleep problems.”

  Most of us think of germs as ‘dirty’ — and
dangerous. But as you’ve probably heard, you’re crawling
with bugs, and these microbes are crucial for digestion,
skin health, and immunity. People now know to take it
[5] easy on antibiotics and eat lots of fermented foods, but
our squeaky-clean lifestyle is still a big problem, says
Robynne Chutkan, M.D., the founder of the Digestive
Center for Women in Chevy Chase, Maryland. Regular
contact with dirt and grime teaches your microbiome how
[10] to recognize friendly germs versus foes, Dr. Chutkan
explains. She gave us some tips for swapping out our
super clean lifestyle for one that’s filled with more bugs.
  • First things first, what’s wrong with soap?
  There’s a role for the occasional bar of soap when

[15] we’re particularly grubby, but a mild soap made from
organic ingredients, rather than anti-bacterial soaps that
are often full of harsh chemicals, is definitely the way to
go. By scouring ourselves in the shower every day, we
are actually stripping our skin of bacteria that keep us
[20] acne — and eczema — free. Unless you’ve just finished
a Mud Run, the only places that need daily soaping are
your armpits and groin. The rest of your body does fine
with a rinse — even after a sweaty workout. Dirt doesn’t
cause disease — but repeatedly killing off the good
[25] bacteria on our skin may actually harm our immunity.
  • What is one thing that most people do in
terms of cleanliness that is unnecessary?
  Harsh hand sanitizers! Unless you’ve been hanging
out on an Ebola ward, the vast majority of microbes on
[30] your skin and hands are not virulent germs that cause
serious infection; they’re harmless bacteria that won’t
hurt you.
  • Even during cold and flu season?
  Yes, you should take a bit more precaution when
[35] your co-workers are coughing and sneezing non-stop.
But you still don’t need anti-bacterial soaps and
cleansers; those work against bacteria, and the common
cold and flu is caused by a virus. All that’s necessary
during cold and flu season is regularly washing hands
[40] with all-natural soap and warm water for at least 20
seconds. This dislodges viruses and bacteria, so they
wash down the drain, whereas antibacterial soaps expose
you to antibiotics you don’t need in your life.
