Does this also include the, erm, extra activities that might be done during the sleep period?

The recommendations in the consensus statement are as follows:

Infants four to 12 months should sleep 12 to 16 hours per 24 hours (including naps) on a regular basis to promote optimal health.
Children one to two years of age should sleep 11 to 14 hours per 24 hours (including naps) on a regular basis to promote optimal health.
Children three to five years of age should sleep 10 to 13 hours per 24 hours (including naps) on a regular basis to promote optimal health.
Children six to 12 years of age should sleep nine to 12 hours per 24 hours on a regular basis to promote optimal health.
Teenagers 13 to 18 years of age should sleep eight to 10 hours per 24 hours on a regular basis to promote optimal health.

Child....You Sir are a BAD parent for allowing your child to perform extra activities during sleeping time.

Most small kids need to be in bed by 8pm
But when must they do homework
Parents work till 6pm . Kid at aftercare till picked up
1 hour drive home
there is one hour left for supper and homework
6am back to work/school
Young kids need parental supervision and guidance for homework
