Which age group is associated with about 9-10 hours of sleep per night?

Sleep needs decline with age, and each group has a typical nightly range. School-age children usually require about 9–11 hours of sleep per night, so 9–10 hours fits this group best. Infants sleep much more (roughly 12–16 hours including naps), and toddlers generally need about 11–14 hours. Adolescents typically require around 8–10 hours, which is a similar range but slightly shorter on the high end than school-age. So the 9–10 hour pattern most clearly aligns with school-age children.
