I rarely take naps! But in the past week or so, I've taken about 5, 2-3 hour long naps. Every night I get 7 or 8 hours of sleep, so I don't know why I'm napping a lot all of a sudden. Maybe it's because I have not been used to waking up so early for school. Any ideas?

Are you bored? Your body is adjusting to Fall, shorter daylight, Your not as active now that school started and waking up earlier can do it, try going to bed earlier, like at 8 or 9.
I also heard that kids go through cycles. When your a baby you need naps, from like 5 to 12 no need for naps, teens sometimes need naps then when your an adult you adjust.

Depending on how old you are it isn't all that unusual for you to need naps. Even in your teens your body is growing and may need the extra rest during the growth spurts. Enjoy the naps. Your body and mind will thank you.

I think "Mom" directed this question - teens don't say "rarely" & usually are not worried about sleeping a lot. It's ok Mom to be concerned!! I have 2 teens & yes, they sleep, they are moody, unpredictable & many other tasty adjectives! Let them sleep - just so they are eating right, getting some exercise & completing school work. This is also a good age for a physical, the bods are a changing!! It's all good.

Hormone changes can cause you to need more sleep and feel very tired. Along with that and new school schedule you could be very fatigued. If it effects your school work and home life see a doctor.

School tended to wear me out (still does), but our bodies are going through a whole buncha stuff in our teen years that it just plain tires us out dude.

If you're female and sexually active, you could be pregnant. Talk to your doctor.
