Identifying Sleep Disturbances
Getting enough sleep is essential for normal functioning in children and adolescents. Young people require more sleep than adults. For instance, elementary-age children generally need between 9 and 11 hours of sleep per night, whereas adults typically need 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night. Infants and preschoolers need even more sleep than older children. Infants and preschool-age children benefit from sleep during the day, but by the time children start attending school typically naps are no longer necessary. More
