why it is important to have 8 hours of sleep.

I wonder why it is important to have 8 hours of sleep.

Sleep is a condition of body and mind which typically recurs for several hours every night, in which the nervous system is not active, the eyes closed and the muscles relax.

It is very important that people especially kids go to sleep because a kids body has to regenerate for the next day also it heals  their sores.It is also important that people should get sleep because it is really important to grow, for example: your body, legs, hands grow.

Sleep is essential for a person’s health and wellbeing.If we sleep we are more alert and happy and if we don’t we are more angry.

This why people should have 8 hours of sleep.

How I spent my holidays

It is a 2 week break when instead of going to school you get the chance to sleep, eat and go to a friends house


We have holidays because kids have worked hard through the term and deserves a 2 week break from school and also so that we can come back with our minds fresh so we can work properly


I generally slept through the first three days.I woke up at about 1:00pm and I would go down stairs and eat until i was full and would go back to sleep.


I spent the rest of the week at a friends house.We did sparing, had a game of rugby and had a boxing match,and ended with that.


The last week I spent my time at home either watching television or sleeping in my room.On the last day I went church in the morning, slept in the evening and finish my homework in the night.

I really enjoyed the holidays,it was very fun to spend some time away from school.
