Host
Today we're asking a simple question: why do we sleep? Dr Lewis, welcome.
Lewis
Thanks for having me.
Host
So, is sleep just rest for the body?
Lewis
That's what people thought for a long time. But the brain is very busy while we sleep. It sorts the day's memories and decides what to keep.
Host
So sleep helps us learn?
Lewis
Exactly. Students who sleep after studying remember more than students who stay up.
Host
How much sleep do teenagers need?
Lewis
About eight to ten hours. Most get less than seven, mainly because of phones in the bedroom.
Host
So, phones out of the bedroom?
Lewis
laugh That would be my advice, yes.
