A member asked:

What sleeping pattern is the best for teenagers?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sleep for teens: In the ideal situation, the teen would get 8-9 hours of sleep on a regular basis. Bedtime and awakening hours would be consistent, and electronics would be avoided at least an hour before bed.
