How much sleep should a thirteen year old get?

Question

I'm slightly concerned about my thirteen year old girl. She gets between 7-10 hrs of sleep, usually sleeping hard. She goes back to school soon, and I just wanted to know how much sleep she needs, so I can set her alarm clock to the appropriate time. I'm pretty sure this is normal, but I just wanted to know.

Thanks!~Miki

Answer 3

Well, I'm 11 years old myself, and I get about 7-8 hours of sleep, which is not right, but I'm a bit of an insomniac. Your daughter should get about 9 hours of sleep a night, which is more than most people her age get, and should allow her to excel in school, work, and play.
