Hello,
Thnx to contact us. I understand your concern.
If I am your doctor I advice you that minimum of six hours of sleep is necessary for physically active teenager. But some yogis decreased their sleep by yogas. So if you do yoga your sleep time will decreases and you can even improve your physical work.
