How much sleep can a teenager get from zero stress?

I'm a teenager and with school, tuition, and hobbies, I rarely feel like I get enough sleep. My parents say I should sleep more. If I had absolutely no stress, how much sleep would a teenager like me actually need?

Zero stress? Wow, that's a dream for any teenager, haha! I read somewhere that teens ideally need 8-10 hours, but with school, exams, and social life, it's so tough to achieve. If there was no stress, I bet they'd sleep like logs!

Agar stress na ho toh bache shanti se so paayenge. But stress toh aajkal sabko hai. Sleep studies ya tests bhi expensive hote hain. Simple si baat hai, agar baccha khud se uth raha hai aur fresh hai, toh utni neend theek hai. Try to create a peaceful environment for them at home, that's free.

Zero stress? Is that even possible for anyone, leave alone teenagers with their hormones and social media? If they had zero stress, I'm sure they'd get a solid 9-10 hours easily. Unlike us middle-aged folks who wake up at 3 AM thinking about EMIs, haha.

The ideal recommendation for teenagers is around 8-10 hours. If there was no stress, theoretically they would hit that target pretty consistently. But since that's rarely the case, focus on good sleep hygiene – consistent bedtime, no screens before bed, and a dark room. Every bit helps.

I've tried so many things for my kids when they were teens and stressed. From warm milk to aromatherapy. If there's truly zero stress, they probably could easily manage 9-10 hours of good, solid sleep. But since life isn't a fairy tale, focus on what you can control, like a calm bedtime routine and maybe some light stretching.
