 Sleep is very important to human beings. An average person spends 220,000 hours of his life 
sleeping. Until about 30 years ago, no one knew much about sleep, although doctors and scientists 
have done research in sleep laboratories, they have learnt a great deal by studying people as they are 
sleeping, but there is still much that they don’t understand. Sleeping is a biological need, but your 
brain never really sleeps. It is never actually blank. The things that were on your mind during the day 
are still there at night. They appear as dreams which people have discussed for years. Sometimes 
people believed that dreams had magical powers or that they could tell the future. You may have sweet 
dreams or nightmares.
