Do teens require less
sleep? How about college students? |

Research shows that typical teenagers need 8 ½
and sometimes more than 9 hours of sleep a night. Research
goes even further to say that, even though parents think
adolescents shouldn't stay up as late as they do,
teens actually have a different sleep pattern than adults
and younger children. So, the answer to the question,
do teen require less sleep
is "no."
College students are no different. They need the same
8 hours of sleep that adults need. Research does show
that college students are probably the most sleep deprived
group of people. The amount of sleep required differs
some from person to person so when it comes to sleep,
quality is more important than quantity.
The lifestyles of teenagers and college students generally
makes it difficult to get adequate quantities of sleep
so it is important to be sure they quality of sleep is
good. Here are some tips for ensuring sleep quality.
1. Make sure the bed and mattress is big enough for the
teenager or college student. If the bed is too small -
then think about changing to a larger one.
2. Make sure the bed and mattress are comfortable. If
the teenager or college student feels the quality of the
mattress is causing them to have sleep issues take them
to a reputable bed and mattress establishment and have
them try out the mattresses to determine if they like
a firm, medium firm, or soft mattress.
