What would be the effect on child's heath if the child sleeps less than six hours in a day? Friday?
A growing child of about seven months in age sleeps for about 10minutes when he falls asleep in the afternoon, and sleeps for less than six hours in the night. What would be the effect of this abnormality in a child's health?

I would assume none. This is 'acceptable' albeit a lower range of total sleep. Some babies just don't sleep as long or much as others. The sleeping patterns should shift as this child ages. If it were 30 minutes a night, then I might be a bit concerned, but 5-6hours... I wouldn't be so much. Definitely doesn't warrant any medical intervention.

As long as he is in a good mood during the day, he is getting enough sleep. Try to stick to exact bed times so his sleeping schedule will be the same and he should be fine.
