How many hours of sleep is enough?

[Andreww]

I read somewhere (forgot where lol) that said adolescents need more sleep. I get only about 5 hours of sleep every night (except on weekends, which is like 12 :D). Anyway I personally don't think 5 hours is really enough, but I'm not tired during the day, probly cuz its summer. So... how many hours of sleep should I be getting? I'm 14, btw. Thanks!

Anywhere between 7 and 9 hours is healthy for teenagers.

seven to nine is good enough, I got a lot of sleep, in fact I think I get too much. one time I slept at 10 and woke up at 10 am. that's twelve hours >_<

@Deathwing - you should get more. 4 hours is wayy too little.

In summer, maybe 6 to 7 hours, in winter I tend to sleep at least an hour more

[Ramiro]

I normally sleep for 9 hours

I think around 8 is enough for a teen.

7,8, and 9 hours are probably recommended. i read somewhere that teens overall need more sleep than adults because of the changes occuring in our bodies. sleep helps those changes!!!

hope this helps :D

alright im not big on sleep because of my nightmares but during school i get an average of probably 20 hours of sleep a week not getting good sleep makes your heart rate go up shortening your life. hope this helps as well

I personally get about 8 hours of sleep during school year, and around 5 in the summer.. but if u don't catch up on some sleep, then you can weaken your immune system. Thus causing you to get sick easier

Wow...i only get 5 tops..ever xD


Jeez...xD

I've read that you're supposed to get between 7 and 10 hours of sleep each night.

I don't sleep for more than 5 hours, hell I'm lucky if I even manage that.
