Possibly because they are growing so much and their bodies are tired from it.Teenagers need more sleep too and they are growing a lot as well. It is also to give the brain a chance to download everything it has absorbed while awake. A newborn is constantly learning, absorbing, observing & growing, it's brain needs time to process it all and store it away as information to be recalled at a later date.

Why when you get more sleep you are more tired?
I feel the same way. As an adult, all you need is 8 hrs of sleep. My physician actually told me to absolutely NOT sleep more than 8 hours.

How much sleep does a newborn baby need?
A newborn may sleep as much as 16 hours a day (or even more), often in stretches of 3 to 4 hours at a time. And like the sleep all of us experience, babies have different phases of sleep: drowsiness, REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, light sleep, deep sleep, and very deep sleep. As babies grow, their periods of wakefulness increase. At first, though, the need to feed will outweigh the need to sleep. Many pediatricians recommend that a parent not let a newborn sleep too long without feeding. In practical terms, that means offering a feeding to your baby every 3 to 4 hours or so, and possibly more often for smaller or premature babies. Breastfed infants may get hungry more frequently than bottle-fed babies and need to nurse every 2 hours in the first few weeks.
