All animals sleep and humans sleep a lot.

By the time you turn 18 you will have spent about 40 % of your life asleep.

But we don't always want to go to bed.

Why is sleep so important?

Why is sleep important?

Sleep is really important for our bodies and brains to function at peak condition.

You may think your body just shuts down when you close your eyes, but nothing could be further from the truth.

Your body temperature drops while you're asleep, and you don't require as much energy as you do while you're awake, but that period of rest is

when your immune system gets a chance to fight off the bad germs you might have encountered at school

or out in the world.

So sleep helps keep you healthy, and it keeps you mentally fit too.

Sleep helps you remember what you've learned.

You take in information while you're awake, but it sets in your brain while you're sleeping.

So if you're studying for a vocabulary or math test,

one of the best things you can do is get a good night's sleep before you take that test.

It will also help you remember that funny joke your friend told you that you just can't wait to tell someone else.

When you're a little kid, the areas around language and vision in your brain are really active while you're sleeping.

As you get older, the parts of your brain that start learning all the different things like math and reading,

those parts get a workout at night.

And teenagers' brains are working on strengthening the parts involved in decision -making and moods.

And here's something else.

Growth hormone is released while you're sleeping, so you literally grow in your sleep.

I knew I felt taller this morning.
