      Sleep is really weird when you think about it. You kind of shut down, but not really. Your brain is actually really active despite your body looking like it is out for the count. Your memories change after sleep, and to top things off you hallucinate vividly (dream) throughout the night. Where there is weird stuff there is good and interesting science to be done! That is why I find it really interesting 🙂
