Answer 5

When I was 13/14 I grew a foot and a half. At this age kids may not SEEM to do much but, after school, soccer practice, and homework, it feels like what we felt like in college after pulling 2 all nighters!

Just that much growing, and regular activities exhausts the body. I used to sleep 10/11 hours on weekends.
then when I was 15. I started back on 6/8 hours.

If you think that your teenager is sleeping too much you should take them to the doctor to make sure it isn't mono or anything, and while you are there ask what is "normal" but I am telling you I remember VIVIDLY being exhausted. I was healthy and athletic but I could not keep myself awake for more that 12/13 hours a day! I think your body tells you what you need, and you have to let your teen listen to their body.

If it is too little, I would still go to the doctor and get blood work done. just to make sure everything is okay. (drugs/stress/eating disorder may lead to lack of.)

Good luck!

Answer 9

School-Age Children and Preteens
Kids ages 6 to 9 need about 10 hours of sleep a night. Bedtime difficulties can arise at this age from a child's need for private time with parents, without siblings around. Try to make a little private time just before bedtime and use it to share confidences and have small discussions, which will also prepare your child for sleep.

Children ages 10 to 12 need a little over 9 hours of shuteye a night. But it's up to parents to judge the exact amount of rest their children need and see that they're in bed in time for sufficient sleep.

Lack of sleep for kids can cause irritable or hyper types of behavior and can also make a condition like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) worse.

Teens
Adolescents need about 8 to 9.5 hours of sleep per night, but many don't get it. And as they progress through puberty, teens actually need more sleep. Because teens often have schedules packed with school and activities, they're typically chronically sleep deprived (or lacking in a healthy amount of sleep).

And sleep deprivation adds up over time, so an hour less per night is like a full night without sleep by the end of the week. Among other things, sleep deprivation can lead to:

decreased attentiveness
decreased short-term memory
inconsistent performance
delayed response time
These can cause generally bad tempers, problems in school, stimulant use, and driving accidents (more than half of "asleep-at-the-wheel" car accidents are caused by teens).

Adolescents also experience a change in their sleep patterns — their bodies want to stay up late and wake up later, which often leads to them trying to catch up on sleep during the weekend. This sleep schedule irregularity can actually aggravate the problems and make getting to sleep at a reasonable hour during the week even harder.

Ideally, a teenager should try to go to bed at the same time every night and wake up at the same time every morning, allowing for at least 8 to 9 hours of sleep.

Hope this helps.
