Infants’ sleep gets a bit more predictable. They start sleeping more at night and napping during the day. A set bedtime routine helps them sleep longer at night.
Toddlers are full of energy, exploring with curiosity. They need plenty of sleep, usually nighttime sleep plus one or two naps. Sleep helps with their moods, a big deal for tired toddler parents.
Preschoolers’ sleep schedules steady. They might drop naps, but a full night’s sleep is crucial. Adequate rest aids learning, memory, and emotions.
School-aged kids juggle school, activities, and screens. It’s tough for them to get enough sleep, but these hours are vital for academics, health, and well-being. Sleep-deprived kids struggle with attention and mood.
Teens’ sleep is tricky. Their internal clocks shift, making them night owls and sleepy in the morning. With school, sports, and social life, many are sleep-deprived. Still, they need 8 – 10 hours for growth, emotions, and school success.
For most adults, 7 – 9 hours a night is ideal. It helps the body bounce back from stress and prep for the next day. Cutting sleep leads to tiredness, lower productivity, and chronic disease risks.
