How much sleep does a 15 year old, almost 16 is supposed to get? when you eat breakfast in the morning, does it help you to learn better?

No : During the growing years a teen needs 9 or more hours of sleep per 24 hrs. Growth spurts and physically demanding activities can add to the need. Failure to keep up with the sleep requirement can show up in a variety of ways. Poor academic performance in school, sleep walking, etc. After growth stops ; activities lessen, 8hrs may be adequate.Failure to eat bkfst will slow performance all day.

The answers are....: Eight to twelve hours, depending on the individual person. Yes, eating breakfast helps. Giving yourself fuel helps you to be alert and ready to learn. Bottom line: good sleep and good nutrition both contribute to good learning.

It depends: The best way to know if you are getting enough sleep is when you wake up easily, feel rested during the day. If you are difficult to get up, cranky in the morning, or sleepy during the day, you may need more sleep. Breakfast is important for everyone. Your brain needs nutrition to function well (just as the car needs gasoline!). A good breakfast with healthy carbs and protein is best.
