Explanation
Teenagers typically require more sleep than younger children or adults due to the rapid growth and development that occurs during adolescence. This growth spurt places higher demands on their bodies, including increased energy expenditure and the need for more restorative sleep. Additionally, hormonal changes during puberty can disrupt sleep patterns, making it even more important for teens to get sufficient sleep. Therefore, it is true that teens need more sleep than their younger siblings or parents.
