How long should teenagers nap for?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sleep: If teenagers get adequate sleep at night of 8-10 hours then they should not need to nap during the day on a regular basis. If there is a current illness that can cause excessive lethargy or fatigue then napping may be required.
