I've heard that you're meant to get 10 hours of sleep but I only get 8-8.5 often less. Is that harmful? I only feel tired in the morning, not the rest of the day.

  1. No. It is NOT dangerous.

    Actually, a 12 year old is perceived in many situations as an adult.

    1.5 to 2 hours of sleep is not going to be that much of a difference.

    This also depends on your lifestyle.

    Generally speaking:

    a newborn baby through almost 2 years old warrants almost 14 hours of sleep each day

    From 2 - 5 children should receive about 13 - 11 hours of sleep (respectively)

    From the age of 6 through 10, the recommended sleep is pretty steady ranging from almost 11 to 9 hours of sleep.

    Then, from 10 to 18 , the average sleep time is from 9 to 8 hours.

    You are at twelve so, you should be getting about nine hours of sleep.

    I think you're hitting it pretty good.

    Too much sleep and you'll be *overtired* :: this will make you sleepy all the time and more sleep will just make it worse ::


  2. no its not dangerous. you should be getting at least  7 hours or more of sleep a night.

  3. do not worrying. sleeping make you tall. he will becomes the next frodo baggins

  4. No, the normal amount of sleep is anywhere between 7-10 hours of sleep.  It depends a lot on what you do during the day.  If you have energy during the day you are fine!

  5. No, you are meant to get 8hrs sleep.

    Any how can any amount of sleep be dangerous?

    If you were a 3yd old it would be different.

  6. trust your body to know when you are tired. if you dont feel sleepy then dont got to sleep. i still am a teenager too but i go to sleep everyday after 12 or 1 am and i have done that for some time and am used to it!if you are anxious to sleep more try training yourself to sleep early ( a habit develops in 3 weeks! ). try exercise etc but never some thing artificial like sleeping pills because they have a short term positive effect and long term negative effect

  7. no.

    you can get more and it wouldn't hurt. but your fine

  8. no 8 hours of sleep is fine man its plenty its what they reccomend...your kool dude
