It seems when the media takes on a topic it starts to appear in magazines, newspapers and all over the internet. The topic I have seen most over the past month is the need for sleep. An article in the May – June issue of Nutrition Health Review states that newborns need 16 – 18 hours of sleep. I think there are a lot of new mothers that wish that was true for her new baby. Preschool children need 11 – 12 hours of sleep and school aged children and teenagers need at least 10 hours of sleep. As an adult the recommendation is 7 – 9 hours of sleep. The lack of sleep has many negative effects on the body. Poorer job performance, lack of concentration in school, susceptibility to colds and flu, and even an increase of the chances of obesity.
