Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adolescents, including seventeen- and eighteen-year-olds, actually require about 8 to 10 hours of sleep per night, similar to or slightly less than younger teenagers, not because they need less sleep. Their ability to juggle multiple responsibilities is more related to time management, maturity, and possibly increased pressure to meet societal or personal expectations, rather than a decreased need for sleep.
