and teenagers need more sleep than adults for healthy growth and development.
According to the National Institutes of Health, teens

to chronic conditions and diseases including depression and diabetes, as
well as poor academic performance and dangerous behavior, most notably, drowsy
driving. Learn more about how much sleep your teen needs and how to encourage
