What is the purpose of sleep?

Have you ever been totally stuck on a hard video game level, a tricky math problem, or a new skateboard move, only to try it again the next day and nail it on the very first try? It feels like magic, but it is actually one of the coolest mysteries of the human brain! Join Mira and Finn as they dive into the wild science of sleep. You might think going to bed is just hitting a pause button, but it is actually a massive "save" and "upgrade" button for your mind! Discover how brilliant scientists proved that we actually keep learning in the dark. You will learn about your brain's amazing invisible crew, how your temporary memory "in-box" (the hippocampus) moves information into a permanent giant filing cabinet while you snooze, and why cramming all night for a test is a terrible idea! We will even reveal a hilarious mind-bending fact about rats running mazes in fast-forward inside their dreams.
