How Much Sleep do Teenagers Need?
Teens ideally should get between 9-10 hours of sleep per night but often that is not the case. According to the 2006 Sleep in America Poll by the National Science Foundation, only 20% of American teens get adequate rest with students in 12th grade averaging only 6.9 hours of sleep per night. Additionally, 28% of high school students reported falling asleep in class at least once per week.
