Sleep - Shorts

Why do we spend so much of our lives sleeping? Is anything happening in our brains while we sleep? Do animals sleep the same way we do? On this episode of The Children’s Hour Shorts, we explore the science of sleep with expert guests and our Kids Crew. It’s a sleep science podcast for kids and educators.

Includes 3 audio clips and a Learning Guide for educators. Our learning guides meet and cite educational content standards, and are designed for use with elementary through middle school students.
