How long should a 12 year old sleep?

The National Sleep Foundation recommends that children between the ages of 9 and 13 get 9-11 hours of sleep each night.

It's important to note that individual needs can vary, so these are just general guidelines. Some children may need more or less sleep depending on their age, activity level, and other factors.

Here are some signs that a child may not be getting enough sleep:

* Trouble waking up in the morning

* Feeling tired or sluggish during the day

* Having trouble concentrating in school

* Being irritable or moody

* Having behavioral problems

If you are concerned about your child's sleep habits, it is a good idea to talk to their doctor.
