Why Do We Dream? | Learn why people have dreams while they sleep

Have you ever woken up in the morning and thought, “Whoa, I just had a pretty wild dream?” Or maybe you think you will remember your dream when you are fully awake, and then totally forget! In this educational video for kids, we are going to talk about why we dream, along with some interesting facts about sleep.   Let’s start off with one of those interesting facts. Would you be surprised to learn that sleeping takes up about one-third of your day? Here’s a real life example: if you sleep about 8 hours per day and live to be 90 years old, you will have spent about 30 of those years sleeping! Whoa!   Sleep is super important to your overall health, because it helps your body and brain rest. Have you noticed that when you don’t get enough sleep you might feel grumpy and tired? Maybe you even have more of a temper. Those things don’t feel very good, do they? A good night’s sleep means you feel better physically, emotionally, and mentally. On the other hand, a lack of sleep can negatively affect things like your growth and immune system.    We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about sleep and dreams!
