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 age has a lot to do with sleep requirements. Babies need about 16 hours a day and teenagers about nine. Most adults need seven to eight hours a night, but some may need as little as five hours or as much as 10 hours of sleep a day. Generally speaking, the older you get, the less sleep you need.
