Babies that don't let you sleep at night are much smarter

As a young parent, surely all you want for your baby is to be healthy and happy.

And if we're completely honest, surely your wish is for your baby to sleep all night so that you can sleep well.

However, if the baby is waking you up all the time with the cry, then that could be a good sign, at least according to scientists.

According to research by the University of Bristol, babies who don't sleep all night are smarter than those that sleep until morning.

Professor Peter Fleming, who at the university works on infant health and psychological development.

He has suggested that babies are not designed to sleep for long periods. According to him, it is not good for the baby to do this, and there is no evidence that they benefit if they sleep longer.
