✦ Lesson 5
Why is sleep so important?
Sometimes your body just needs to do nothing! Rest helps the body recover from everything you did during the day. We also say relax, chill out or chillax. The most important kind of rest is sleep.
😴
At least 9 hours a night
That is how much sleep children your age need.
