Sleep gives your body a rest and allows it to prepare for the next day. It's like giving your body a mini-vacation. Sleep also gives your brain a chance to sort things out. Scientists aren't exactly sure what kinds of organizing your brain does while you sleep, but they think that sleep may be the time when the brain sorts and stores information, replaces chemicals, and solves problems. Who Needs Sleep? : Who Needs Sleep? The amount of sleep a person needs depends a lot on his or her age. Babies sleep a lot - about 14 to 15 hours a day! But many older people only need about 7 or 8 hours of sleep each night. Most kids between the ages of 5 and 12 years old are somewhere in between, needing 10 to 11 hours of sleep. Some kids might need more and some need less. It depends on the kid Why is Sleep so Important? : Why is Sleep so Important? Sleep allows your body to rest for the next day. Not only is sleep necessary for your body, it's important for your brain, too. One more reason to get enough sleep: If you don't, you may not grow as well. That's right, researchers believe too little sleep can affect growth and your immune system - which keeps you from getting sick. What Happens if Kids Don’t Get Enough Sleep? : What Happens if Kids Don’t Get Enough Sleep? Skipping one night's sleep makes a person cranky and clumsy. After missing two nights of sleep, a person will have problems thinking and doing things; his or her brain and body can't do their normal tasks nearly as well. After five nights without sleep, a person will hallucinate (this means seeing things that aren't actually there). Eventually, it becomes impossible for the brain to give its directions to the rest of the body without sleep - the brain needs to spend time in bed and catch its ZZZs! Why Do We Dream? : Why Do We Dream? People dream during REM sleep, the period that follows the deepest stage of sleep. Everybody has dreams, although some people have a tough time remembering them. When you wake up can affect whether you can remember your dreams. If you wake up during REM sleep, you might remember everything about your dream. If you wake up during another stage of sleep, you might not remember a thing. Tips for a Good Nights Sleep : Tips for a Good Nights Sleep Try to go to bed at the same time every night; this helps your body get into a routine. Follow a bedtime routine that is calming, such as taking a warm bath or reading. Limit foods and drinks that contain caffeine. These include some sodas and other drinks, like ice tea. Don't have a TV in your room. Research shows that kids who have one in their rooms sleep less. If you have a TV, turn it off when it's time to sleep. Don't watch scary TV shows or movies close to bedtime because these can sometimes make it hard to fall asleep. Don't exercise just before going to bed. Do exercise earlier in the day - it helps a person sleep better. Use your bed just for sleeping - not doing homework, reading, playing games, or talking on the phone. That way, you'll train your body to associate your bed with sleep.
