What Is Sleep?
Sleep is a special time when your body and brain slow down and reset.
You are not awake, but your brain is still busy.
Think of sleep as your nightly charging station π.
Without sleep, your brain feels foggy, your body feels tired, and your mood gets grumpy.

Sleep helps you:
- Grow taller and stronger

> Sleep is like hitting the reset button every night.
