known as a biological need, is the resting state in which the body is not active and the mind is
unconscious but your brain never really sleeps. It is never actually blank. The things that were on your
mind during the day are still there at night. They appear as dreams which people have discussed for
years. Sometimes people believed that dreams had magical powers or that they could tell the future!
You may have sweet dreams or sometimes nightmares, which is terrifying. Sleep is very important to
humans. We spend a third of our life sleeping, so we need to understand everything we can about
sleep.
