Just like everybody else they need to sleep in order for their bodies to not only function but also develop properly. What most people don't realize is how much goes on while one sleeps. The most important factor is the release of GH (growth hormone) that is used to not only make the little ones get bigger but also to regenerate their damaged bodies. Lack of sleep = less GH and sicker bodies. There is an interesting post about this at http://www.wesleepbetter.com/blog/helpmesleep_files/getdeltasleep.html it talks about the importance of deep sleep and GH.

That research from Scientific American isn't necessarily valid... there's lots of holes in the study.
