What is a normal sleep pattern?

I think the definition of normal sleep is the effects of sleep. In other words, how it affects your behavior. For instance, if you have abnormal sleep, it will affect your performance, and it's going to affect how you perform in the daytime. I guess it's kind of a reverse definition, because you only had abnormal sleep because your lifestyle or quality of life is affected. For instance, the child who is not sleeping well or has abnormal sleep for whatever reason will have some kind of behavioral manifestations during the day. They'll be cranky, if they're older, they won't be able to concentrate at school, and may be labeled ADD. They may be excessively sleepy and fall asleep, whatever they're doing. When kids have sleep problems, they're sleep patterns are not necessarily broken. It's primarily behavioral or if it's not behavioral, it may be problems with breathing and sleeptime; it's not something seriously wrong with the child. A lot of families think that might be the case, and that might prevent them from coming forward and asking for help. It's embarrasing. For me personally, if my kids have sleep problems, do you think I'm going to tell anybody? Not really, I mean it's embarrasing, especially if you purport to have knowledge about it.
