Without enough sleep, not only would our performance at work or school  be hurt, we also look tired and feel depressed, irritable, and angry. How much sleep is enough?
It’s different from person to person by age. National Sleep Foundation provides a breakdown of the recommended number of hours of sleep people need by age (*including naps):

INFANTS
(0 to 2 months)…………..……10-1/2 to 18 hours*
(2-12 months)…………………..14 to 15 hours*

TODDLERS/CHILDREN
