[quote=Anonymous]I've read that kids often need more sleep during growth spurts. Their body is working overtime producing cells, and thus they require extra rest. It makes sense, honestly -- one reason babies sleep all the time is that their only job is basically growing so they just eat and sleep, because they will double in size over the course of a few months. So it makes sense that an 8 or 12 year old who is shooting up an inch or suddenly building more muscle mass due to puberty may also need more rest for a time. Just like sometimes kids are hungrier and eat more, sometimes they are more tired and sleep more. It's fine.[/quote]
