Physiological sleep need is about 9h across adolescence; US 9th-12th grade teens sleep 7h12min on school nights and French 15-19 year olds sleep 7h45min.
“While laboratory studies have shown that physiological sleep need is about 9h across all ages of adolescence [11], sleep duration on school nights is 7h12min for 9th to 12th grade American teens [7] and 7h45min for 15-19 years old French adolescents [9].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
