March is National Sleep Awareness Month! —The Gift of Sleep

Sleep is a gift we give our bodies. It is the time for cell and tissue regeneration. Sleep powers the mind, restores the body, and fortifies virtually every system in the body. But how much sleep do we really need in order to get these benefits?

How Much Sleep is Recommended for Each Age Group?

The National Sleep Foundation’s recommendations for nightly sleep are broken down into nine age groups. National Sleep Foundation guidelines1

	Age Range	Recommended Hours of Sleep
Newborn	0-3 months old	14-17
Infant	4-11 months old	12-15
Toddler	1-2 years old	11-14
Pre-school	3-5 years old	10-13
School Age	6-13 years old	9-11
