If you were to be asked the number of hours a person should sleep, chances are you would say 6 to 8. And while this seems to be a common number for healthy sleep, a study seems to think otherwise.

This was after researchers reportedly put some people in darkness for 14 hours a day during a month-long period. After some weeks it found that some people were regularly sleeping for 4 hours, staying awake for an hour or two and then going to sleep for another four hours.

Apparently it has a “break” in the pattern which means that normally, there would be an interval of sorts in between sleeping spells.

Though sleep scientists were impressed by the study, among the general public the idea that we must sleep for eight consecutive hours persists

When it comes to getting the right quality of sleep for toddlers, it all boils down to how you lay down and of course which stuff you have lying around. But thanks to the efforts of groups like Cloud B which has worked in hand with pediatricians and specialists on the issue of sleeping, some new products to aid sleep were developed to help promote a safe, sound and healthy sleep for children, and subsequently their parents.

Leading the pack is a Twilight Sea Turtle, it not only provides people lights, sounds and smell but a reminder as well towards the endangered animals. So as a whole, it is a combination of putting together eco-friendly issues and getting the healthy sleep that kids and parents both need today.

Other items that are (or will be) available include the Polar Bear Cub, the Dozy Dolphin, and Penguin, all of which use some combination of soy-based and/or bamboo fabrics and hypo-allergenic stuffing.
