According to Andreas, each person has a biological clock that is different. Seseeorang the older age, the need for sleep tends to decrease. In children, sleep needs can be up to 12 hours, a young adult around 8.5 to 9 hours. whereas older adults maximum of only 8 hours.

"For over 30 years, at 10 pm usually sleepy, so their biological clock," he said.

But for those who are in their early 20s, generally it will be difficult to get to sleep at 10 pm. Because in their teens and young adults, have a biological clock that is very distinctive. Teens and young adults when at 10 pm, the brain actually longer fresh-fresh and full of creativity. This is actually a great time for them bekarya and learn.
