How much sleep does a school-age kid need?

9 to 12 hours a night for ages 6 to 12.

  1. 7 hours, same as grown-ups
  2. 9 to 12 hours ✔
  3. 14 hours, naps included

Why: CDC says kids 6 to 12 need 9 to 12 hours. Enough sleep helps attention, mood, and memory at school.

Huh, didn't know that: Teens 13 to 17 need 8 to 10 hours, which is still more than most adults.
