How much sleep do teenagers get

We all know that the average person needs 7 to 8 hours of sleep a day. However, with the continuous development of Internet technology, many young people now sleep less than eight hours. So how much sleep should teenagers get every day? What is the appropriate sleep time for teenagers? Let me share my understanding with you.

1. Under normal circumstances, it is best to go to bed around 10:30 to 11:00 pm.

2. Health Preservation Theory: The 6 hours between 21:00 and 3:00 in the morning of the next day are the winter of the day. The so-called "winter main storage" means that this time is the most scientific time to sleep. After falling asleep, the various organs of the human body that have worked for a day begin to rest and recover. If the food is well refrigerated in winter, it will grow better in the summer of next year, which means you will be more energetic at work the next day. So, generally we can go to bed between 10:30 pm and 6:30 am the next day.

3. Sleep quality is very important. Therefore, try not to make your brain too excited 1-2 hours before going to bed at night, otherwise it will be difficult to fall asleep at night, and you will have dreams, which will affect your sleep quality.

4. Only with sufficient quality sleep can you improve your learning efficiency and improve your learning quality.

If 8-9 year old students in the third grade of primary school sleep 9-12 hours a day, 12% of the children will be overweight or obese when they enter the sixth grade (about 11-12 years old); if they sleep less than 9 hours a day, 22% of the children will be overweight or obese when they enter the sixth grade. The researchers analyzed that children who are well-rested may have more energy and prefer to play outdoors rather than lie in bed watching TV. And tired children are more likely to seek food when they are irritable. At the same time, adequate sleep can promote the secretion of hormones that regulate appetite and glucose metabolism in the body; lack of sleep will affect carbohydrate metabolism in the body, resulting in impaired glucose tolerance and affecting body weight.

No matter what the reason is, we all need to maintain about eight hours of sleep, especially for adolescents who are still growing. They also need to pay attention to a balanced diet, maintain good sleeping habits, and pay attention to proper exercise. These are very important for the development of adolescents. I hope my answer is helpful to you. I wish you good health.
