Is Your Child Getting Enough Sleep? 😴 | Recommended Sleep Hours by Age | Om Hospital
How many hours of sleep does your child need according to their age? 😴🌙
Sleep is much more than just rest for children. Good-quality sleep supports brain development, learning, memory, growth, immunity and overall well-being. 🌱
But children’s sleep requirements change as they grow. In this video, we look at the recommended total sleep duration by age, including naps where applicable:
👶 0–3 months: 14–17 hours
👶 4–11 months: 12–16 hours
🧒 1–2 years: 11–14 hours
🧒 3–5 years: 10–13 hours
📚 6–12 years: 9–12 hours
🧑 13–18 years: 8–10 hours
🌙 Simple Sleep Tips for Parents
📱 Reduce screen exposure before bedtime
🕐 Maintain a consistent sleep and wake-up routine
🛏️ Create a calm, comfortable bedtime environment
❤️ Encourage healthy sleep habits from an early age
Remember, sleep needs can vary between children, and sleep quality and regularity also matter—not just the number of hours.
If your child regularly has difficulty falling asleep, wakes frequently, snores heavily, has unusual nighttime breathing, or appears excessively sleepy during the day, consider discussing it with a pediatrician or qualified healthcare professional.
Good sleep supports healthy development. Give your child the rest they need to grow, learn and thrive. ❤️🌱
