More sleep isn't always better-- high school students test best with seven hours of rest

Whether or not you know any high school students that actually get nine hours of sleep each night, that’s what federal guidelines currently prescribe.

A new Brigham Young University study found that 16-18 year olds perform better academically when they shave about two hours off that recommendation.

“We’re not talking about sleep deprivation,” says study author Eric Eide. “The data simply says that seven hours is optimal at that age.” The right amount of sleep decreases with age:

  • The optimal for 10-year-olds is 9 to 9.5 hours
  • The optimal for 12-year-olds is 8 to 8.5 hours
  • The optimal for 16-year-olds is 7 hours

    crap, it has to do with REM cycles being 1.5 hrs in and out of REM, and also I think the word “optimal” should
