Actually, it depends on the child. But, the general rule of thumb is 8-10 hours. Most school age children need a good night's rest to do well in academics.

You should get at least 8 hours of quality sleep a night.

Each child requires a different amount of sleep. My theory is to see how hard it is for them to wake up. They should be waking up refreshed and with little dificulty. If so, then the time they go to sleep is fine (or even later). However, if you need a garden hose to wake them up, then go to bed earlier.\n\nPersonally, I always needed very little sleep and never had a problem waking up. In high school, I typically went to bed between midnight to 1:00am and would wake up at 6:00am, often before the alarm. In my later years (aka today) I typically retire for the night at 2am and am up by 6:00am. (Speaking of which, it is almost bedtime)

It sounds like you might not be getting quality sleep...see below....\n\nAccording to a poll conducted by the National Sleep Foundation, adults in America average 6.9 hours of sleep each night, which is slightly less than the recommended range of 7-9 hours. Sleeping gives the mind and body an opportunity to work. During sleep, the body does repair work by replacing old cells with new ones and re-energizing the organs and muscles. Also during sleep the brain is busy sorting through all the events of the day and storing the day’s learning into memory. \n\nThe quality and quantity of the sleep you get will determine how productive the next day will be. Here are some tips to help you get the sleep you need and deserve.\n\nEstablish and maintain a regular bed and wake time schedule, including weekends. \nDevelop a regular bedtime routine that is relaxing. Examples include soaking a hot bath or reading a good book. \nCreate a sleep inviting environment that is dark, quiet, comfortable, and cool. \nMake sure you have a comfortable mattress and pillows. \nUse your bedroom only for sleeping and relaxing. It is not wise to take work materials and computers into your sleeping environment. \nEat the last meal of your day at least two to three hours before bedtime. \nComplete your exercise routines at least a few hours before bedtime. \nAvoid caffeine close to bedtime as it may keep you awake. \nThe amount of sleep each person requires varies from individual to individual. When you get the right amount of sleep, you should not feel sleepy the next day. If sleepiness is creating problems in daily activities, you probably need more sleep. \n\nAccording to the National Sleep Foundation, the amount of sleep recommended, according to age, is as follows:\n\nInfants/Babies (including naps) \n0-2 months: 10.5-18.5 hours \n2-12 months: 14-15 hours \nToddlers/Children (including naps) 12-18 months: 13-15 hours \n18 months to 3 years: 12-14 hours \n3-5 years: 11-13 hours \n5-12 years: 9-11 hours \nAdolescents 8.5 -9.5 hours \nAdults/Older Persons On Average 7-9 hours \nSleep is as important to our health and well-being as air, food, and water. You may need to seek to advise of your doctor, if problems getting quality sleep last for more than a week and become bothersome or if sleepiness interferes with the way you feel or function during the day. \n\nDon’t deprive yourself of the precious sleep your body needs to stay healthy. Remember, when you get the right amount of quality sleep, you’ll wake up feeling fresh, alert, and ready to face your day.\n\nSource: The National Sleep Institute

I think you should sleep for aboiut 8 hours during school but on the weekend you can go to bed whenever you want to. I think you should stay up all night on the weeekends if you wantto

No, whether you oversleep or undersleep, it doesn't change the next days sleep. You should get different amounts of sleep at different stages in your life but as a rule of thumb, get your 6-8 hours....whether or not you over/underslept the night prior.

depends on the age, my 3yr. old gets 10-12 hours every night. I let him wake up on his own, cause i would rather be up for a extra 2 hours, than have a bratty cranky kid for the rest of the day by waking him up early!\n\nnewborns sleep basically 18-20hours a day.

This is an interesting one which I think depends on what we THINK we need. Most folk in UK seem to generally consider we need 8 hours or thereabouts. I joined a group once which stated that if you needed more than 4 hours there was something the matter with you. This struck me as quite ridiculous on first hearing it but I gradually realised that our perception and conditioning are an enormous influence. I now KNOW I can manage quite well with 5 or 4 hours but have the capacity to sleep for 12 hours too. I am truly blessed to be able to drop off almost the minute my head touches the pillow.

everybody is different. I found out that some people can get by with 6 hours while others need 10 (average 8.) I'm in the 10 hour range, so I have to sleep around 10-10:30.

as far as sleeping habit is concern, it depends on the age. younger age needs a complete hours of sleep-8 hrs. for their health and to have a normal growth and brain relaxations. on the age of teen-age - needs also a complete hours of sleep for the conditoning of their body system, specially if the teens are energetic and sports minded. on the age of maturity-thats 20 above- the hours of sleeps decreases a little bit, because of their extra curicular activities. on the age of 35 and above sleeping habits decreases again because of hormones and being active in physical aspects of their way of living. at the age of 50 above, the sleeping habits now normally gets 6 hours. and this is normal to ageing people, because of some personal reasons, or maybe lack of vitamins or hormonal imbalance., but still its normal regarding sleeping habits is concern.

If your kids don't settle down to do their homework, they may need to unwind first--they may need to run around a bit if they've been cooped up in school, or they may need just to veg out for half an hour or so. In order to concentrate, kids need to be well-rested--like 10 hours of sleep a night; well-fed with something nutritious--keep fruit and grains in the house for snacks; and in a quiet place free of distractions. Turn off the tv or radio. And really, if they've been in school all day, don't expect them to study all night. Kids should do no more than 10 minutes of homework per grade--that is, a 4th grader should do 40 minutes of homework a night, plus reading. Play and exercise are vital to mental development and concentration.

Because having 13 hours of alseep, can be worse than having 7, depending on your age, you should hit exactly the amount of sleep you need, and you will wake up just fine, like one time i fell alseep at 3 o clock in the afternoon, woke up at about 11:30, and i was wide awake, becuase I convieniently hit the time to wake up, but then i fell back asleep to about 7, and i felt horrible, like I stayed up 10 days in a row, so try to time your sleep perfectly there is an algebraic question somewhere on the internet, but if your young, about 9 hours. if your a bit older 8, and if your very old, about 6 and a half, try to find it its like S=a*2.6937 dont ask, but its sometheing very simaler to that, i couldnt find it :&#92;

Although it depends to some extent on age, scientists say just about eight hours per night is the minimum to remain healthy and alert. The effects of sleep depravation include short term memory loss and impaired reflexes and motor skills, so heads up for that if you go  on living at five per night. \n\nI'm a college student, so I feel you on that one. :p

for infants, 12 hours; for adolescents 10 hours; for middle aged 8 hours; and for sexagenarians 4 hours.  Sleep rejuvenates the dead cells, while it relaxes our mind and body.  REM?
