A developmental researcher is conducting an observational study on sleep patterns within a multi-generational household. The household includes a 6-month-old infant, a 16-year-old high school student, a 45-year-old parent, and a 70-year-old grandparent. Based on established findings regarding sleep across the lifespan, which of the following outcomes is the researcher most likely to observe regarding total daily sleep duration?
