Booktalk: Go to sleep and grow your brain!

During the day, your brain helps you do things like eat, walk, play with friends, and learn new things―and using your brain helps it stretch and get stronger. But did you know that you have the power to grow and train your brain just by going to sleep? In fact, while you’re resting, your brain is doing some of its most important work!

Learn about the important jobs your brain does at night like:

Locking in what you learned during the day
Resetting itself so that it’s ready when you wake up
Even taking a bath to make sure it’s clean and healthy!
