Sleep is like a journey of
dreams and imagination. It
takes several stages and each
one is completely unique.
These are the four stages:
Stage One – Falling Asleep:
This is the start of your adventure to dreaming. You’re just starting to drift
asleep and your eyelids are closing. You can easily be woken up if alerted.
Stage Two – Light sleep:
This is when you’re starting to get into deeper sleep, deeper into your
adventure. You will still not be dreaming yet . Your body is starting to relax,
your heart rate is starting to slow. You can still be woken up easily.
Stage Three – Deep sleep
This is when you’re about half way through your adventure of
sleep, the body starts to develop, such as healing wounds and
growing. If someone wakes you up at this stage you can feel groggy.
Stage four-REM Sleep (Rapid Eye Movement)
REM sleep is where the most exciting part of your adventure happens. Your
eyes move around quickly behind your closed eyelids, and this is when you
have the most vivid and memorable dreams. It is also the stage where brain
does a lot of learning and sorting through all the things you’ve experienced
during the day.
 
Remember!
That sleep is important, so make sure you get enough sleep every night to
have the best adventures in your dreams and be your best in the day.

Some people sleep walk,
this is when they get up in
their sleep and move
about without themselves
knowing!
Lucid dreaming is where
you’re the boss of your
dream. You know you’re
dreaming, so you can make it
as cool and exciting as
possible.
Sleep-talking is when people
talk or make sounds while
they’re still asleep. It’s like
having secret conversations
while you’re dreaming!
S
ome people get up at night to
eat, and they might eat some
unusual stuff, like weird food
combinations or even things that
aren’t food at all, like toothpaste
or raw pasta
.
Some birds sleep with one eye open to
watch for predators, and dolphins and
whales sleep with one half of their brain
at a time. It’s fascinating to learn about
the different ways animals adapt to their
sleep needs
You  dream every night!
Even if you don’t always
remember them, you have a
dream during every night when
you go through REM.
On average, people spend
around one-third of their lives
sleeping. This means that by the
time you reach 90 years old,
you will have spent about 30
years sleeping!
Sleep is crucial for brain
development, especially for
children. During sleep, your
brain processes information,
forms memories, and helps you
learn new things.

Try to go to bed and wake up at the
same time every day, even on weekends.
This helps regulate your body’s internal
clock and makes it easier to fall asleep
and wake up.
Establish a calming routine before
bedtime, such as reading a book, taking
a warm bath, or doing some light
stretching exercises. Avoid stimulating
activities like watching TV or playing
video games close to bedtime.
Ensure your bedroom is a comfortable
and relaxing place to sleep. This means
having a comfortable mattress and
pillows, and keeping the room cool,
dark and quiet. You can use blackout
curtains to block out light and earplugs
to reduce noise.
Caffeine and sugary snacks can keep
you awake, so its good to avoid
them in the evening. Go for a glass
of water or a small, healthy snack if
you are hungry.
Regular physical activity during the day
can help you fall asleep more easily at
night. However, try to finish exercising
at least a few hours before bedtime, as
intense physical activity can make it
harder to sleep right before bed.

We have a new challenge for everyone
here. The Turn off and Tune In
challenge is an exciting mission that
invites everyone in our school to make
a promise to turn off their devices at
least half an hour before bedtime.
Why is this important? Well, because
sleep can affect how we act during
the day, so lots of sleep can help us
be happy and healthy.
 The challenge will begin at some
point over the term.
You will all get a sheet to
mark off everyday you take
the pledge. The challenge
will last two weeks and we
will collect them in at the
end.
