Scientificly the 10 year old brain needs roughly 8-10 of REM sleep.realisticly however, the 10 year old could get by with 7-8 hours.
8-9
At least 8 hours.
I asked the school people this before. They said 12 hours is not uncommon and would be good for a child of this age.
8 - 9 hours, sometimes 10. Thats puberty for you.
10 to 11
about 7
10.00-6.00am
About ten.
Elementary school aged children should get 10 - 11 hours of sleep a night.

My son is much more alert if he gets his 10 hours of sleep. When he gets 8 or less he is usually in need of a nap or EXTREMELY grumpy during the day.
a good 8 hrs
8-9 hours. Now I sleep from 9pm to 5am, but I used to sleep from 9pm to 6am. You shouldn't let them sleep longer than 10 hours, or else they will fall asleep a lot later.
Our 11yr old sleeps 10hrs a night. Some kids need more & some less. Absolutely no less than 9hrs according to our pediatrician
Around 10 hours I would say. Maybe 9
At that age, they need 9 to 10 hrs. on school nights.
DEAR 9 TO 11 HOURS SO HE ARE SHE IS NOT REALLY CRANKY AT ALL SO YOU DO NOT HAVE YOUR HANDS TO FULL IN THE DAY TO AND FROM SCHOOL OK

You got quite a few wrong answers here. ADULTS need 7-8 hours..kids need more. A 10 year old should get about 10 hours of sleep a night.
what time does your child get up in the morning? I would say 10 hrs. their brains are still developing. but, all children are different. look on this website!
My ten year old girl gets about ten hours of sleep because she is stubbetrn so the doctorv said it is great and children ages 4 to 12 need about nine to ten hours of sleep
8 to 10 hours in good for them.
