Excellent article that covers sleep at all ages. It gives a table from ages 1 month clear to 16 years and it tells how many hours of sleep they need at night as well as how many naps and the duration for each age. Very good information provided here. Even goes into things like night terrors which are of particular interest to me.

Can I say how much I love this page? One of the best pages about children and sleep-- ever! This should be required reading for every parent! There is some enlightening and crucial information here. I know several adults who seemingly don't care about their children's sleep patterns, and seeing this website just impresses upon me how very different children and adults sleep patterns are. Parents, do yourselves a favor and read this in its entirety!
