24 LIVE WELL WITHOUT FRESHNESS EP10 SLEEP HOURS V01
Summary
TLDRThis video explores how sleep needs change throughout our lives, from infancy to old age. It begins by explaining that newborns require the most sleep (14-17 hours), while toddlers need 12-15 hours. As children grow into school-aged kids and adolescents, sleep requirements decrease to 9-11 hours and 8-10 hours, respectively. Adults typically need 7-9 hours of sleep, crucial for maintaining health. In older adults, sleep needs decrease further, but many face sleep disturbances due to circadian rhythm changes and melatonin production. The video also shares practical tips for better sleep at any age, like creating a comfortable sleep environment and maintaining a regular sleep routine.
Takeaways
- đ Newborns need the most sleep, between 14 and 17 hours a day, due to rapid physical and mental development.
- đ As babies grow, their sleep needs decrease, dropping to 12 to 15 hours per day by their first year.
- đ School-age children require 9 to 11 hours of sleep per night for optimal growth and cognitive development.
- đ Teenagers need 8 to 10 hours of sleep per night, as they undergo significant hormonal and physical changes.
- đ Adults should aim for 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night to maintain health, support immune function, and aid recovery.
- đ Older adults typically need 7 to 8 hours of sleep, but many struggle with fragmented sleep due to circadian rhythm changes.
- đ Aging can cause disruptions in melatonin production, making sleep lighter and more interrupted in older adults.
- đ Poor sleep in older adults may lead to cognitive issues, mood disturbances, and an increased risk of chronic health conditions.
- đ Good sleep hygiene includes maintaining a consistent sleep routine, creating a comfortable sleep environment, and avoiding electronics before bed.
