NSF Recommended Sleep Duration
About
The National Sleep Foundation recommends sleep based on your age, and not the traditional 6-8 hours that is typical from conventional wisdom.
Below is a table of values:
| Age | Recommended | May be appropriate |
|---|---|---|
| Newborns (0-3 months) | 4 to 17 hours | 11 to 19 hours |
| Infants (4-11 months) | 12 to 15 hours | 10 to 18 hours |
| Toddlers (1-2 years) | 11 to 14 hours | 9 to 16 hours |
| Preschoolers (3-5 years) | 10 to 13 hours | 8 to 14 hours |
| School-aged Children (6-13 years) | 9 to 11 hours | 7 to 12 hours |
| Teenagers (14-17 years) | 8 to 10 hours | 7 to 11 hours |
| Young Adults (18-25 years | 7 to 9 hours | 6 to 11 hours |
| Adults (26-64 years) | 7 to 9 hours | 6 to 10 hours |
| Older Adults (>=65 years) | 7 to 8 hours | 5 to 9 hours |
