Why do you 𝗡𝗘𝗘𝗗 𝗧𝗢 𝗦𝗟𝗘𝗘𝗣?
No one knows for sure, but most scientists believe that during sleep the brain organizes, processes, stores information & produce memories.
It also gives your body time to rest. If you don’t get enough sleep, you can become irritable & find it hard to concentrate.

[REM: Rapid Eye Moment ; NREM: Non-Rapid Eye Moment]
Each night you repeat the NREM & REM stages about every 90 minutes until you wake up. The REM periods become a little longer as the night passes, which is why your longest dreams happen in the morning. During REM sleep, muscles are paralysed so you can’t act out your dreams.

SLEEP WALKING
Some people can get out of bed when they are fast asleep & walk around. Sleepwalkers have been known to drive cars & even commit murder while unconscious.
SNORING
This noise is caused when soft tissue at the back of the throat relaxes & vibrates during breathing.
TEETH GRINDING
Clenching or grinding teeth during sleep is called “Bruxism”. It can damage teeth, so sufferers often wear mouth guards.
SLEEP TALKING
Some sleep talkers make just random noises, but others hold long one-sided conversations.
SLEEP EATING
Sleep eaters raid the fridge while fast asleep. The only clue to their nocturnal activities the next morning is crumbs in the bed.

° Kid’s bodies release more growth hormone during sleep, so too many late nights can leave you short!
° When you wake up after a good night’s sleep, you will be about 3 cm (1 inch) taller than when you went to bed. During the day, gravity compresses the discs in your spine making you shorter, but as you sleep the discs expand again.
