Be healthy

What does it take to be healthy?

Reviewing the information from the Ed Puzzles.

Sleep

Your body needs about 10 hours of sleep. It helps to go to bed around the same time every night and get up around the same time everyday.

Your body and especially your brain need time to slow down and recharge. Even during sleep your body is healing, growing and fighting off germs.

Not enough sleep can make you tired, unable to concentrate, cranky and crabby.
