The National Sleep Foundation, a not-for-profit scientific organization, has issued an update on how much sleep people should get per night.
In a report this week, the organization issued its recommendations for most age groups.
“This is the first time that any professional organization has developed age-specific recommended sleep durations based on a rigorous, systematic review of the world scientific literature relating sleep duration to health, performance and safety,” said Dr. Charles A. Czeisler,chairman of the board of the National Sleep Foundation, in a press release.
