Beginning in 2018 for Stage 3 of Meaningful Use (optional in 2017), VDH will accept registrations from only EPs that practice in an urgent care setting. All other types of EPs may claim an exclusion for syndromic surveillance in Stage 3 of Meaningful Use.
The Takeaway. 1  Although there is some genetic variation, most adults need between 7.5 to 8.5 hours of sleep per 24-hour period to function optimally. 2  You can find your optimal sleep time if you set aside several days (perhaps during a vacation) to allow yourself to sleep as long as possible. Once you know how much sleep you need, it's important to allot that amount of time in your daily schedule for sleep.
Your average adult needs 7-9 hours of sleep, but it varies by individual. Teenagers need about 9-9.5, and infants need more (from 10-20 hours depending on age). That being said, each individual has a different required sleep amount, and you should find out how long you need to sleep to not feel tired (you might be one of the very rare that only needs 4-5 hours).
