PPT present in different universities.
Age Average Amount of sleep
Newborn Upto 18 hours
1-12 months 14-18 hours
1-3 years 12-15 hours
3-5 years 11-13 hours
5-12 years 9-11 hours
Adolescents 9-10 hours
Adults Including elders 7-8(+) hours
Who needs sleep ???? We do !!!!
As per above studies 8-9 hours are recommended sleep durations for adolescents, but our recent studies reveals that college students sleep has decreased from 7 hours 45 minute in 1969 to 7 hours in 2009 (LUND H.G. at al 2010)

Symptoms of Sleep Deprivation As per our recent study low sleep quality, sleep disturbances and at least sleep dissatisfaction are prevalent among most college undergraduates which leads to: (REFF)
Poor Academic performance Depressed mood Irritability Day time sleepiness Drowsiness Mood swing
It has also been shown that as the pharmacy students progressed through their courses, their day time sleepiness increased and sleepier student did not achieve as good as others.
Sleep quality & the factor which affect it are not explore yet in Indian context
Therefore, the present study was design to investigate the interrelation between demographic characteristics, lifestyle and academic progress with sleep quality and sleep problems along with daytime and nighttime habits in young female pharmacy students of India.
