A big crisis in many teenagers life is trying to get enough sleep. Without enough sleep kids fall asleep in school and don;t get to learn that much. Studies show that when you are a baby you should get around 12 to 18 hours of sleep. When you are toddler you should get 12 to 14 hours of sleep. Also, when you age 4 to 10 you should get around 10 hours of sleep. However everything changes when you are a teenager. Teenager get around 6 to 7 hours of sleep. Teenager only get this amount of sleep for many reasons. A regular teenager usual time to sleep is around 11pm or later. Most because of watching tv. Some other common reason is communicating with others through things like texting. With a lack of sleep kids are not able to perform at the best of their abilities. No good grade, sport, or social life. Thats is why it is so important to get a lot of sleep.
