How Do We Know When It’s Time to Go to Sleep?

Our bodies have a magic clock that tells us when it’s time to go to sleep.

When your eyes get tired and you start yawning, that means your body clock is saying, “Time for rest!” It's like having a sleepy friend inside you who taps your shoulder and says, "Let’s take a nap."

Your body has a special helper called the brain, which keeps track of time. When it gets dark outside, your brain notices and sends a message to your body: “It's sleep time!” This is like when you see the sun go down and know that bedtime is near.

When you fall asleep, your body starts doing magic tricks. Your eyes close, your thoughts slow down, and your body gets ready for the day ahead. It’s like putting your toys away so they’re all neat and tidy for tomorrow. Our bodies have a magic clock that tells us when it’s time to go to sleep.
