"How much sleep does my child need?"
Most parents can tell if their child is not getting enough sleep. My four year-old son is an angel when he is well rested, but when he is behind on sleep... watch out! Here are some average times that most kids sleep.
1 week 16.5 hrs
1 month 15.5 hrs
3 months 15 hrs
6 months 14.25 hrs
12 months 13.75 hrs
2 years 13 hrs
4 years 11-12 hrs
5 years 11 hrs
10 years 9.75 hrs
Adolescent 7.5 hrs (school night)
Adolescent 8.75 hrs (weekend)
Some kids will sleep more or less than this. The important thing is that your child feels and acts well rested.
