The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) recently updated recommendations for appropriate sleep durations:
- School-age child (6 – 13 years): 9 – 11 hours (previously 10 – 11 hours)
- Teens (14 – 17): 8 – 10 hours (previously 8 ½ - 9 ½ hours)
- Young adults (18 – 25): 7 – 9 hours (new category)
- Adults (26 – 64): 7 – 9 hours (no change)
- Older adults (65+ years): 7 – 8 hours (new category)
If a person lives 85 years, he or she may sleep nearly 250,000 hours -- more than 10,000 full days.
