SLEEP: HOW MUCH DO PEOPLE NEED?

Adults need about eight hours of sleep a night. Some need more and some need less, but this is the average amount. Newborn babies need the most sleep, about 14 to 16 hours every day. They sleep for about four hours. Then they wake up, eat, and sleep again. As babies grow, they need a little less sleep, about 10 to 14 hours a day. Here is an interesting fact: Teenagers also need about 10 to 14 hours of sleep each night. Some people think teenagers sleep a lot because they are lazy. Their bodies are changing, so they need a lot of rest. How much sleep do you get every night? Is it enough for you?
