Eight hours a night is considered the average amount of sleep. For teenagers, the least hours advised by doctors are: ten hours for primary school students, nine for junior highs and eight for senior highs.Some people seem to get along just fine with very little sleep at night.

On the other hand, Elbert Einstein, another great scientist, said he needed at least ten hours sleep a night.Here are some good suggestions for a good nights sleep: Use your bed only to sleep and go to bed at the same time every night.
