[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not against sports but teens need 9 to 9.5 hours of sleep. We need to stop treating sleep like it is a luxury. They literally need it. Just because they can plow forward without it does not mean they don't need it and you aren't harming them by not making it a priority. [/quote]

Not everyone needs 9-10 hours of sleep.  You may, your kids many but not all do.  If you are too lazy to encourage your kids in their interests just say that.  Mine were like you and came up with all kinds of excuses about why we couldn't do activities.[/quote]

Pretty much every pediatrician would disagree with you, but whatever makes you feel better. [/quote]

DP here. One of my kids needed very little sleep, and every pediatrician I mentioned it to said, “Don’t worry about! People don’t all need the same amount of sleep.” And we’ve seen lots of different pediatricians over the years as a military family who has moved around quite a bit.
