Why do we sleep? What does it do?
Why is it important for me and you?
Sleep helps amend our waking pains.
And tries to cure problems in our brains.

Sleep may be hard if you are too warm,
Or if your mind is in a dreadful form.
So sleepless nights can be frustrating,
And the following day so irritating.

And how do we get ourselves to sleep?
Can it be done by counting sheep?
Or is it through an empty mind?
And hope that dreamworld - we'll soon find.

So try to get eight hours a night.
This amount seems to be just about right.
So whether you work, you rest or you play,
A good night's sleep will help your day.
