newborns up to 3 months old should get 14-17 hours daily
infants ages 3-11 months old get 12-17 hours daily
toddlers ages 1-2 years get 11-14 hours daily
young children ages 3-5 years old get 10-13 hours daily
children ages 6-13 get nine to 11 hours daily
teenagers ages 14-17 get eight to 10 hours daily
persons ages 18-64 get seven to nine hours daily
older adults ages 65 and older get seven to eight hours daily
Getting extra sleep may even increase growth hormone production, so go ahead and take that power nap.
d) Exercise
HGH is an important substance produced in the body. It’s very important role is the growth of bodily tissues and is often at its highest peak at younger age while we are growing rapidly and begins to slowly decrease as we grow older. Growth hormone is involved in the turnover of muscle tissues, which is particularly important for those of us who are looking to add lean muscle mass, as well as the transformation of bone and collagen tissues.
Exercise is the biggest contributor to growth hormone release.
