Getting a good night’s sleep can alleviate many health issues. Experts advise going to bed early and rising early to promote overall well-being.
However, many people are now neglecting these recommendations. Many individuals spend their nights staring at their phones, which negatively impacts their sleep. Using screens before bed can delay falling asleep, leading to late nights and often insufficient rest.
A study by the National Sleep Foundation reveals that sleep needs vary by age. For children aged 1 to 5, the recommended amount of sleep is between 11 and 14 hours per night.
Children aged 6 to 12 should get 9 to 12 hours of sleep each night.
For teenagers aged 13 to 18, 10 hours of sleep per night is sufficient.
For adults over the age of 18, a minimum of seven hours of sleep per night is essential.
