Sleep and rest for a healthy body
Aligned to NHES 1 — SHAPE America National Standards.
What this lesson teaches
Your body needs lots of sleep to grow, learn, and feel good, more than grown-ups need. A calm bedtime routine, like a bath and a book, helps your body get ready to rest. Good sleep makes you happier, stronger, and ready to play the next day.
Worked example
A cozy bedtime might be: take a bath, brush your teeth, read one story, then lights out. Doing the same steps each night tells your body it is time to sleep.
Practice questions
- Name two things in a calm bedtime routine.
- Why does your body need sleep?
- What helps you wind down before bed?

El sueño y el descanso para un cuerpo sano
Tu cuerpo necesita dormir mucho para crecer, aprender y sentirse bien, más que los adultos. Una rutina tranquila antes de dormir, como bañarte y leer un cuento, ayuda a tu cuerpo a prepararse para descansar. Dormir bien te hace sentir más contento, más fuerte y listo para jugar al día siguiente.
Ejemplo: Una rutina acogedora antes de dormir puede ser: bañarte, cepillarte los dientes, leer un cuento y luego apagar la luz. Seguir los mismos pasos cada noche le dice a tu cuerpo que es hora de dormir.
