![]() The recommendations reported here represent guidelines for healthy individuals and those not suffering from a sleep disorder. Sufficient sleep duration requirements vary across the lifespan and from person to person. For teenagers, 8 to 10 hours was considered appropriate, 7 to 9 hours for young adults and adults, and 7 to 8 hours of sleep for older adults. The panel agreed that, for healthy individuals with normal sleep, the appropriate sleep duration for newborns is between 14 and 17 hours, infants between 12 and 15 hours, toddlers between 11 and 14 hours, preschoolers between 10 and 13 hours, and school-aged children between 9 and 11 hours. We determined expert recommendations for sufficient sleep durations across the lifespan using the RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method. The National Sleep Foundation convened an 18-member multidisciplinary expert panel, representing 12 stakeholder organizations, to evaluate scientific literature concerning sleep duration recommendations. The objective was to conduct a scientifically rigorous update to the National Sleep Foundation's sleep duration recommendations. 20 Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, CA. ![]() 19 Division of Sleep Medicine, Eastern Virginia Medical School, Norfolk, VA.18 Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of Washington, Seattle, WA.17 Inpatient Geriatrics, Robley Rex VAMC, Department of Internal Medicine and Family & Geriatric Medicine, University of Louisville, Louisville, KY.16 American Academy of Pediatrics, Elk Grove Village, IL.15 Department of Biology, Gannon University, Erie, PA.14 Department of Cell and Systems Biology, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.13 Stanford Sleep Epidemiology Research Center, Division of Public Mental Health and Population Sciences, Stanford University, School of Medicine, Palo Alto, CA.12 Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine, Georgetown University Hospital, Washington, DC.11 Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD.10 Clinical Sleep Research, Section of Pediatric Sleep Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, The University of Chicago, Chicago, IL. ![]()
