social cues

    Cards (3)

    • In infants the sleep/wake cycle is initially random but by 6 weeks the circadian rhythms begin and by 16 weeks most babies are entrained.
    • Schedules and social cues determined by the parents –
      e.g. meal times and bed times.
    • Rather than responding to hunger and fatigue, conforming to local times for sleeping and eating will train your circadian rhythm (good for jet lag!)
