Listen up, y'all, I've got a story to tell."

About something we do every day, can't you tell?"

It's a process that's vital and can't be ignored.

Without it, our health would be at war.

We sleep; we sleep; it's what our bodies need.

We sleep, we sleep, to free our minds.

We sleep for our energy to recharge.

We sleep, we sleep, in order to be our best, large 

When we hit the hay, our bodies go to work

Repairing cells, and our brain goes berserk

With memories and thoughts, it processes and sorts

Making connections, and new ideas it exhorts

We sleep, we sleep, it's what our bodies need

We sleep, we sleep, for our minds to be freed

We sleep, we sleep, for our energy to recharge

We sleep, we sleep, to be at our best, large

Audiobook

Without enough sleep, we're groggy and slow

Our moods are off, and our focus is low

But with enough rest, we're sharp and alert

Our bodies and minds, in tip-top shape, we assert

We sleep, we sleep, it's what our bodies need

We sleep, we sleep, for our minds to be freed

We sleep, we sleep, for our energy to recharge

We sleep, we sleep, to be at our best, large

“Why We Sleep is an important and fascinating book…Walker taught me a lot about this basic activity that every person on Earth needs. I suspect his book will do the same for you.” —Bill Gates

Kindle Edition

So when the night falls and it's time to lay low,

Just remember, sleep is what makes your mind and body grow.

So close your eyes and let yourself drift.

'Cause when you wake up, you'll be ready to shift.
