Why do teenagers have sporadic eating/sleeping patterns?

658 views

I have always been one of those chubby mature early bloomers, but I wondered why so many other teenagers seemed to go for a day without food without realising it, or pull all-nighters and literally sleep all day long. Why is this?

It’s kinda hard to say you need to eat and sleep more because you’re growing but it’s sporadic because we treat teenagers like fully developed people. Teenagers need to eat much larger meals then a developed person and they should sleep 8-10 hours depending on age where adults only need 6-8. The older you are the less sleep you need. But because of school and what’s normal for adults you essentially eat and sleep less than you should.
