How much sleep is enough?

To stay in good health, some experts in the US say, adults should get seven to eight hours of sleep. Teenagers need nine to ten hours. And pre-school children need more than 10 hours of sleep a night.

Experts say the quality（质量） of our sleep becomes poor as we grow older. This happens because the brain unit that controls sleep begins to weaken slowly as we age.

Experts say the change starts in our 30s. By the time we reach our 50s, a person may have lost 50 percent of his or her ability to have a restful sleep.

These people have trouble falling and staying asleep through the night. From middle age on, these problems only get worse, and they can have a bad effect on their health.

You have trouble making decisions. Not having enough sleep may make your brain work slower in problem solving.
