Sleep for school-age kids: how much is enough?

Most school-age children need roughly 9–12 hours of sleep. Short nights follow screens home and then follow students back into assembly.
A steady bedtime, phones parked thirty minutes earlier, and a dimmer bedroom help the brain wind down. Teachers notice clearer focus when sleep is treated as schoolwork, not optional rest.
Share age-banded ranges with families as education — not a clinical sleep study. Seek a clinician if snoring, restless nights, or daytime fatigue persist.
