Most of us generally stop our "juvenile" growth at around twenty-five. I think it slows down into our twenties. Teenagers generally sleep more because they're still growing.
This might account for it now that you are soon to be no longer a teenager. Maybe you're slowing down in terms of growth.
Generally, you shouldn't force yourself to sleep a certain amount every night. You should sleep only as much as you need to. Set numbers of hours aren't the way to go.
But, yes, if it persists and you have problems with how you feel while you're awake, you should go see a doctor.
