According to most studies, teens (including 16 year old boys) need at least NINE hours of sleep nightly (9 1/2 hours is better) ! Studies also show that most teens do not get enough sleep. However, when they do, they get better grades and do better in sports and other activities.

How many hours sleep should a 50 year old get?

There is no magic numbers, sleep differs for each person. But as a good rule of thumb: an average adult needs between 7.5 and 8 hours of sleep per night. But many people can function with 6 hours' sleep, and there also some who need 9 hours or more. The amount of sleep needed to function the next day varies from individual to individual, and is determined genetically and hereditarily.


How many hours of sleep does an 8 year old need?

Short answers: 10-12 hours. All children are different. On the weekends how long does your child sleep without an alarm clock? If they sleep for 11 hours without an alarm clock, then that is how much sleep they need everyday. I believe the recommended amount of sleep for children is between 10 to 12 hours. This means that if school starts at 9 AM and they have to be up at 8 AM to get ready, they have to be assleep at 8 PM, which means they have to get ready for bed at 7:30 pm. Strict bed times are a must for children to succeed in school.
