Sleep is very important.
Did you know that sleep is more important than food?
A person who does not sleep dies faster than a person who does not eat.
Let's say you go to sleep 12 hours late.
It will take your body about three weeks to return to normal.
We spent about a third (1/3) of our lives in sleep.
That's about 121 days a year!
How much sleep do we need?
We are all different.
A baby needs 16 hours of sleep every day.
Children 6 to 12 years old need an average of 10 to 12 hours of sleep.
Teenagers need 9 to 10 hours of sleep.
An adult needs an average of 7 to 8 hours a night.
There are some people who need only 3 hours of sleep.
Others need 10 hours of sleep.
After the age of 50, the average sleep time goes down to 6.5 hours a night.
We need less sleep as we get older .
