    Generally speaking, children need more sleep for 12-16 hours because their body and brain cells are growing. Most newborn babies sleep during the day and have more REM (rapid eye movement sleep) cycles. As we get older, the sleep time will become shorter and shorter. From 18 years old to old age, the total amount of sleep needed every day should be about the same.
