I am now taking the 5th class in my Master’s
program. This course is called Research Competency. My past few assignments
have been exploring a research simulation. The topic I am interested in
studying is how a mother’s sleep patterns during pregnancy affects her child’s
sleep patterns. I chose this topic because I know how important sleep is for
children’s growth and development and I’m curious to know how much of children’s
sleep habits are aligned with their mothers’ sleep habits.
Colleagues – I would love to hear your thoughts on this
topic. What ideas do you have or challenges do you anticipate? I look forward to
reading about your simulation ideas as well.
This is a topic I have never heard of before. Are there many articles or studies in this area already or is this something new? I think it would be a great thing to look at, with new inventive ideas, but I would worry about finding enough articles and research to back it up. It would be a study that would take some time and finding participants if it was something that was really going to happen. I definitely think it could be interesting though.
ReplyDeleteLaura, when I read your post, most importantly your topic; it stroke me. I never though of doing a research like that, maybe that is why we do not have many articles and information about it. I applauded you for that and if I have any information I will be glad to help you with. I have a colleague that while she is working, her baby is asleep, but as soon she sits or go to sleep the baby awakes. the other women think it's because while her mom is moving around, it rock the baby along with the water inside. I am not sure, but it will be fun to find your results. Once again, I cannot wait.
ReplyDeleteLaura I think that is a great topic and I could see how sleep patterns can effect children. I guess my question would be do you think that these patterns will grow into how they sleep as children or even adults? Do you think you will find that this is why some children are easier to sleep during the night and other wake? Good luck.
