      This depends on their age. Babies need 12-18 hours (!!!); toddlers need 12 – 14 hours; school children need 10 – 11 hours; and teens need 8.5 – 10 hours a night. Adults need 7.5 – 9 hours. So, you lot really do need your lie-ins. 😉

      Lena is correct. Although I never get more than 6 hours of sleep! I suppose that’s where we get the saying ‘sleep like a baby’.
