Sleep is a natural state of bodily rest observed in humans and other animals. It is distinguished from quiet wakefulness by a decreased ability to react to stimuli, and it is more easily reversible than hibernation or coma. It is common to all mammals and birds, and is also seen in many reptiles, amphibians, and fish. In humans, other mammals, and a substantial majority of other animals that have been studied (such as some species of fish, birds, ants, and fruit flies), regular sleep is essential for survival.

The purposes and mechanisms of sleep are only partly clear and are the subject of intense research.

What did your kids sleep in when they outgrew the sleep sacks?
Q. My son is not even 8 months old and is already wearing 18-month clothes. He has outgrown those sleep sacks that are like wearable blankets. He thrashes around in his sleep (rolls over, crawls into the corners of the crib, etc), so he won't stay tucked in under a blanket -- what did you do with your kids to keep them warm at night after they couldn't fit in the sleep sacks anymore? Thanks!

A. The little footed PJ's are great and keep them warm. But basically anything that won't get wrapped around them, and that they seem to be comfortable in, is fine. Hope this helps. EDIT: To Ryden's Mama- If you check out the infant section of most stores, they have something called "sleep mits". Some have fasteners and some are just elastic. They keep their little hand toasty, and you can usually find them to fit up to 1yo.

How do I get our new puppy to sleep in his crate?
Q. My fiance and I just got a new puppy, Rott/Chow Mix, and we have had it for two days. Last night it just would not sleep in his crate. The first night he whined for about 15 minutes and then slept through the night, but last night he whined for 2 hours (11:30-1:30) until I went down and brought him into our bed, then he slept all night. He is not alone, we have two other dogs as well. Infact Lorelei, our black lab, sleeps in a crate right next to Mack (the new pup), so they are close together. And Narah the oldest has free run of the house. We've raised both Lorelei and Narah from 6wk pups, so we did the right thing from the start, but this pup is almost 4 mths. My thought is the owner that we got them from said that Mack was her baby… [cont.]

How long do babies sleep in their cribs? What age do they move to a toddler bed?
Q. I am shopping for crib bedding sets and I don't want to spend a bunch of money on one if they won't be in the crib for that long. I have a bassinet already and she will be sleeping upstairs in that for a few months till I let her sleep in the crib. So when do I let her sleep in a toddler bed?
Asked by volcomgrly23 - Mon Aug 28 14:15:27 2006 - - 13 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Usually they move to a toddler bed or twin bed at around 2 years old. If they are too little, they might roll off the bed, and though you can put a railing up for that, babies begin pulling up at about 6 months, and could topple over the railing. Keep in mind that if you get a toddler bed, the crib mattress and bedding will fit it. But don't discount the value of a crib: anything that keeps them safe and away from wandering in the middle of the night is a good thing
