For this week of the blogging challenge it was about science. I chose to research about sleep and dreams.

I started off asking why do people dream and the answer I got was no one knows for sure. That was when I started looking more into sleep. I made this picture to show the sleep cycle and what happens in each stage. 

After looking into the sleep cycle I looked a little further into dreams and found some possible reasons for why we dream. Here is a video I found about dreams.

Here are some possible reasons on why we dream. They could represent wishes or be random signals for the brain. They could also be gathered information from the day.

Now finally I have a 2 truths and a lie quiz. How it works is I will say three facts and you have to guess the lie.

Their are 5 sleep stages

No one knows for sure why people dream

We dream between 2-4 times a night

 

Most dreams are forgotten when you wake up 

REM sleep only happens once in the night

Sleep stages 3 and 4 are deep sleep

 

Most dreams happen during stage 4 of the sleep cycle

REM stands for rapid eye movement

It is easy to wake up from stage 1 of the sleep cycle

 

Thanks for reading my post and comment to tell me how many you got correct.
