Sleep needs vary by individual and age. Dr. Max Seham notes children require more sleep, especially during growth and winter, with minimums for primary grades at twelve hours and ages twelve to fourteen at least nine and a half hours. Factors disturbing sleep include noise, excitement, and crowded rooms. Proper bed arrangements and timing help, while late meals before bed disrupt rest.
