A member asked:

I'm a 19 year old female, i was wondering how many hours of sleep should i get or need my sleep is always interrupted by being woken up by people :(?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably 8 hr: 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.As growth and extra activities decline, most will find 8 hour enough. Failure to keep up with the sleep requirement can show up in a variety of ways. Poor academic performance in school, sleep walking, etc.
