A member asked:
What things can occur if you forcefully keep awake a 5/6 yrs baby from sleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sleep: Every child at 5 -6 years has a different sleep and/or nap schedule. Usually if a child is trying to sleep, you should let them. That means that their body needs it. If you deprive them of the sleep, then you will see behavior problems, moodiness, crying, tantrums, lack of focus and attention span, etc.
