Why Do Babies Need More Sleep Than Adults?

The smaller the baby the more sleep the baby needs. Babies require more sleep than adults.

Babies don't do more than sleep and eat. They are growing more faster than older children. Young children grow not as fast as babies. Older children don’t need more sleep than babies, but need more sleep than adults.

Adults need sleep. They need a period of rest because the worn cells in their bodies are being replaced. As long as they get sleep they are ready for work the next day.

Babies and children need food to make bone and muscle.Also for energy when, they run around at the age of 1 or 2 years old. Adults only need food for energy.

  1. Oh I want to be a baby again so I can have all that sleep and not feel guilty...hahaha...this is interesting to know that babies grow faster than young children. I actually thought they all needed the same amount of sleep...I definitely know I need at least 8hrs sleep or I don't have enough energy the next day or else I result to eating too much to get energy...lol
    keep up the awesome blogging!
