The Science of Sleep
Why do we need to sleep? Why do we get sleepy at night? What are dreams? The Science of Sleep explores the neuroscience of sleep.
Packed with real-life examples and backed with up-to-date research, it explains what happens in your brain and body when you sleep - and when you don't - in a clear, entertaining way for KS2 children.
