I also heard if you wake up and feel good before it's time to get up, you should go ahead and get up because if you go back to sleep, you will feel worse when you get back up.

However, she gets at least 8 hours of sleep even on non school days. The pimples could just be to do with puberty. Do try to get more sleep, though. Between 8 - 10 hours is average for a girl your age. Report Spam or Abuse RE: How much sleep should an 11 year old get?

I am a 12 year old girl who is possibly bipolar and I can't just lay down and go to sleep. No matter how tired I am, it takes me at least an hour to fall asleep. Since summer started, I've started sleeping odder and odder. I don't get tired till about 4 or 5 am, don't fall asleep till about 6, and my mom makes me get out of bed when she gets home, around 2. No matter how much sleep I get, I am still always tired. Sleeping pills don't work on me. When I tell my parents how much trouble I have, they just tell me to go to bed earlier. I am so tired of being tired. What do I do? Report Spam or Abuse RE: How much sleep should an 11 year old get?

Post By Miriam (Guest Post) (06/12/2008) I think I never get enough sleep as I'm tired in the morning. I always take a long time to get to sleep, so I end up actually getting to sleep quite late. I normally go in bed at nine o'clock, and fall asleep at ten. I think that is a good amount of sleep. I also have pimples, and bags under my eyes. But I am getting enough sleep, I suppose as long as I know I'm getting enough sleep whether I've got bags, pimples or not, it's alright.

Post By Shayna (Guest Post) (05/24/2008) I'm am 11 too, my mom was a nurse so she knows this stuff. When you're 8-13 years old you should always get 8-10 hours of sleep... I actually fall asleep around 10:30-10:45 on school nights and wake up at 7:15. (which is extremely early according to my school XD) The timing is really good for me because i get approximately 8 hours and 45 minutes of sleep on school nights. Besides days when I have tennis since schools out now, I go to bed whenever I want, normally before 1:00, and then wake up whenever I'm not tired. Try to get the right amount of sleep each day and eat healthier foods, the right amount of each food group every day. Take showers regularly- every day or every other day if your skin gets really dry. Don't try to pop your pimples unless there white as my sister tells me.

Post By marcelo (Guest Post) (04/04/2008) I really feel that a kid should sleep plenty, but we do not normally, because of all the activities we are engaged in. A kid should at least have eight and a half hours of sleep. I am 11 years old and I usually try to go to bed later than what I am suppose to, which is 9.30 In the morning I can feel very sluggish and irritable trough out the day, if I don't sleep 8 to 9 hours. Dear Leah I think that if you rest more it would help your ADD. Because some of the medication, like you said, keeps you awake. Talk with your doctor about reducing and about your sleeping habits. Look into alternatives, like how to deal with it without having to take drugs. Sleep is a right and is free and promotes health >_< Report Spam or Abuse RE: How much sleep should an 11 year old get? Post By Susy (Guest Post) (03/23/2008) I'm 13 years old, turning 14 in a couple of months. I don't think I get enough sleep. On school nights, I usually watch tv at 8 or 9 o'clock depending on what's on, and then do revision, homework or computer until 10 o'clock. At 10 I start getting ready fo bed, but don't actually go to bed until 10.30pm. Even then I don't go to sleep straight away and instead read until 10.45 or 11 o'clock. Then I sleep and get up the following day at 7 o'clock. I don't feel terribly tired as I manage to drag myself out of bed every morning. But I yawn loads throughout the school day without really thinking about it. I never fall asleep in class, however; I wouldn't dare. I'm a straight A student who is top in most classes. At the weekend I stay up from 12 until 1 o'clock and wake up from 9 to 11 o'clock in the morning. Sometimes earlier if I'm going swimming, in which case I usually feel quite tired. I can't really give much advice about how much sleep you need when you're 11 - other than about 9 or 10 hours sleep. I've always found it very hard to fall asleep, especially on school days, because I used to be bullied and I always worried about school the next day. When I was in year 6 and 7 I'd go to bed at 8 o'clock and try calmly to fall asleep, but I'd just lie there for hours and hours, sweating and fidgeting. I'd listen to the grandfather clock tick away the hours until 12 and even occasionally 1 o'clock, by which time I'd be panicing and getting in and out of bed, waking up my parents and crying. I felt so terrible. Insomnia is such a stressy condition. Glad I'm over those times. Drinking horlicks did the trick :) Report Spam or Abuse RE: How much sleep should an 11 year old get?

Report Spam or Abuse RE: How much sleep should an 11 year old get? Post By Mum (Guest Post) (07/09/2007) Hi everyone, I'm a mum of 3 children, the youngest is now 14. They all need very different amounts of sleep and always have, but we all need to rest our bodies and our minds, sleep will come. My children have always gone to bed reasonably early, a general indicator is round about the time the general tv channels stop showing programs suitable for your age. At this rate your body is going to be rested, even if you can't get to sleep. We don't have tvs in any bedrooms so instead we read or listen to music for a while, I usually go around and turn off all bedroom lights before I go to bed. Try and get plenty of fresh air and some exercise during the day, a nice walk in the evening is also a good way of winding down before bedtime. Most importantly though, don't worry about sleep as long as you are giving your body rest and it doesn't matter what anyone else is doing as long as you are doing what is right for you. I'm not sure that lack of sleep, unless you were seriously deprived, would contribute to pimples, some of us get them and some don't. My suggestions for your skin problems are, drink plenty of water, try to avoid greasy food and don't over wash or cleanse your face, we need some natural body oils.

Dont feel you have to stay up until your "bedtime" if your parents have set a bedtime. Let your body tell you what it needs. Good healthy food, plenty of rest and excercise are good for everyone. Your body knows better than anyone else who tells you that you should be doing this or that, eating this or that, getting so and somuch amount of sleep. Listen to your body.

Give yourself time to wind down, maybe reading or writing in a journal. Don't use electronics because they tend to wake you up, and the bright light will confuse your body. If you can't get to sleep regularly, you might try going for a walk after dinner or exercising. Avoid caffeine or sugars late at night. If you can't get enough sleep at night, you might try taking a nap after you get home from school. When I went away to college, I would nap after classes almost every day. I still nap whenever I get a chance today. Jess Report Spam or Abuse RE: How much sleep should an 11 year old get?

Keep your room DARK, and use soft music or sounds if that helps (just be considerate of others). Then count your blessings, or sheep, whichever! It may take a week or two to get into the routine, but once you do, you will feel so much better! And avoid soda/caffiene after dinnertime, it stays in your body for 6 hours! As part of your night routine, wash your face (all that crud gets on your pillow) and maybe use a mask once a week to deep clean and relax.

I go through my days pretty well, olny some days i feel like falling asleep in class. Teens and Pre-Teens got so much to worry about but being healthy, and fit are real important. Just go to sleep 5 minutes earlier every two night if you want to go to sleeep earlier, it really works, and always study right before you go to bed, then your brain processes the information. It works. Good luck on getting sleep,! emi. and things like my this can happen when you do not get enough rest( i tripped while trying to get down from a tractor, and cut my leg 3 inches deep.) and i was tired. emi (look at the pic) Report Spam or Abuse RE: How much sleep should an 11 year old get?

Another thing she suggested was that he NEVER wash his hair and allow the shampoo water to run down his face but to lean back when rinsing.

Using some common sense evaluations can help you decide if you're getting enough. For example, do you wake up easily and cheerfully in the morning, or does it take a blasting alarm clock and several rounds on the snooze button before you crabbily drag yourself out of bed? Are you energetic all day, or do you "slump" into low-energy I-really-need-a-nap feelings, especially in the afternoon? Can you concentrate easily, or does your mind feel wooly and unfocused? Do you yawn a lot during the day? Get a metal spoon and a large metal container (like a baking pan, pie pan, etc.) Settle down in a quiet, comfortable place. Write down the time. Hold the spoon in your hand over the metal container. and then settle back and close your eyes. When you fall asleep, the spoon will drop out of your hand into the mental container and make a big clang, hopefully waking you up. When this happens, note the time. The less time it took for you to fall asleep, the more sleep deprived you are. The longer it took, the better rested you are. Less than 2-3 minutes usually means you need more sleep. More than 10 minutes usually means you're doing OK. If the clanging noise doesn't even wake you up, you're probably extremely short on sleep and the resulting nap will do you good! :-) (Of course, this test won't work if you suffer from things like insomnia, but I'm hoping you're a normal sleeper in general.) It's wonderful that you recognize the importance of sleep. Not only does it make you look better, it helps you function better too. And there are many studies coming out that say lack of sleep can even increase your risk of things like heart disease. (yikes!) Good luck!

You need ot be well rested to learn and you need to eat breakfast. Good nutrician helps too. I would also suggest that you talk to your own doctor or your school nurse for advice about how to handle your skin problem. Report Spam or Abuse RE: How much sleep should an 11 year old get? Post By Ang (Guest Post) (04/05/2005) Wow, you are obviously a very sensible young lady. You should be getting at least 10 to 12 hours sleep a night. Try and eat healthy meals of steamed or broiled, fish, chicken and vegetables, with plenty of salads of green leafy vegetables. Slow up on burgers and fries and soda.Wash your face at least twice a day with a gentle nondrying to your skin soap, with a wet warm washcloth. Dont be tempted to pick your spots or squeeze them, and keep your hands away from your face at all times. Think about all the door handles you have touched and the thousands who have touched them before you. Do you want their germs on your face. Wash your hands regularly. Also change your pillowslip regularly as these can get oily. You are going to grow up to be a smart and beautiful woman! Report Spam or Abuse RE: How much sleep should an 11 year old get? Post By Barbie (Guest Post) (04/05/2005) I agree....lots of water and good food....but washing skin is a must do..sleep is something everyone needs a different amount of but trying to get 8 - 10 hours at your age should be good......keeping your hair off your face helps fight acne too...bangs can make your forhead breakout bad......plus you also need to be sure if you use hair spray or other products that you wash well after applying....I think you are kind of young for makeup but if you do use it, or when the time comes when you want to try it....then be sure you remove it and clean your face well.....and wear it for as short of time as possible throughout the day....don't try over night cures...... use daily care..........everyday......wash with warm water (opens pores) and a mild soap, rinse with cool water(closes pores) and moisturize with a light facial lotion when needed.....I also use tea tree oil stick to dot on blemishes,I got mine at the Family Dollar store for $1 they look kind of like a lipstick so don't mix them up.....Good luck Report Spam or Abuse RE: How much sleep should an 11 year old get?

They help in reducing dark acne which causes scarring. Eating vegtables helps your complection too. Report Spam or Abuse RE: How much sleep should an 11 year old get? Post By Terry (Guest Post) (04/05/2005) If you are feeling tired during the day then add time to your sleeping. Please try to drink a ton of water during the day to help clear those pimples up...also watch what you eat, more fruit and veggies and less chips and fries. Also keep washing those hands and your face multiple times during the day. Report Spam or Abuse
