How much sleep does a 7 yr old kid need ?

Answer 1

9 hours

Answer 2

At least 9 to 10 hours a night.

Answer 3

Nine hours is good. It depends on the kid. Some need more, some need less. I wouldn't let them get away with anything less than 8, even if all they do is lie awake, at least they're resting. You could try a warm bath before bedtime. Also a glass of warm milk with a little sugar and vanilla might help make them sleepy. Tell a soothing bedtime story.

Answer 4

children need 10 hours or more of sleep each and every day for a growing body, they also should be kept on a schedule with a bed time. This allows for an easier time waking them in the morning and establishes your place as the parental authority.

if they have trouble going to sleep dont give em nyquil like they do in the simpsons.

Answer 5

My 7 year old is in the 2nd grade and both his doctor and school nurse suggest to all parents of students this age to get 11 hours of sleep each night. They feel that children are not sent to bed early enough and are at risk for heart disease if their growing bodies don't get enough down time.

Answer 6

About 10 hours a night.

Answer 7

They say that us adults NEED 8 hours a night in order to function at our best (yeah we wish...) but with that logic it means that kids need 9 or ten hours as they are still growing. Sleep is actually very important for them to grow (physically) but even more important for their memory and brain funciton (when kids sleep its when their brains "file" all the days info).

Answer 8
