What time should a 12 year old boy sleep?

A 12-year-old boy should ideally aim for about 9 to 12 hours of sleep each night. To ensure he gets enough rest for his growth and development, a bedtime between 8:30 PM and 10:00 PM is generally recommended, depending on his wake-up time for school. Consistent sleep schedules support better overall health, mood, and academic performance.
