Getting enough sleep is very important, from birth to adolescence. Young
children less than 3 to 4 years of age require daytime naps. A child that does
not get enough sleep can be very fussy, irritable, aggressive and may not be
able to learn or play well with other children. This table lists the typical sleep
requirements of children based on age. Because each child is unique, this table
should only serve as a general guide.
