Do teens need more sleep?
My daughter is in Class 10 and she's always tired, no matter how much she sleeps. People say teens need extra rest. Is it true that teens actually require more sleep compared to adults?

Yes, children of that age are growing fast and their bodies need deep rest. Giving them warm milk with a pinch of turmeric before bed helps them sleep soundly. They should not sit with their phones late into the night.

In my own family, I have noticed my teenage nephew needs way more sleep than his parents. He easily sleeps for 9 hours on weekends and seems much fresher after that. It just seems like a natural requirement for their age.

They absolutely do, as their minds and bodies are going through rapid changes. Simple breathing exercises like Bhramari pranayama before sleeping can help them get deep, restful sleep. It calms their overstimulated minds beautifully.

Biologically, teenagers require about 8 to 10 hours of sleep due to neurological development. However, if a teenager is sleeping excessively or constantly feeling fatigued despite 9 hours of sleep, it is best to consult a pediatrician to rule out issues like vitamin deficiencies.
