Unlike adults, infants alternate between short waking periods and short naps. what can we infer about their neurotransmitters?
just olya [345]

During the first one to two months of life, infants are incapable of deep sleep (they do not have trouble falling asleep but they do not generally stay asleep for very long stretches). This happens because infants can’t make the difference between night and day - they do not yet have a circadian rhythm. Around six weeks, the hormone melatonin is produced (pineal gland) and it helps establish a normal sleep-wake cycle.
