In the city of Tiko, there was a family. Minos and her big brothers loved playing in the yard in the morning before school. But Mama Minos didn’t want them to play in the evenings. She said they would be too tired and not sleep well.

However, Minos secretly went out to play with her friends in the evenings.

At night, when it was time for bed, she would keep playing games in her room even after the lights were off. After six months, she started feeling tired all the time and wanted to sleep a lot during the day. When her friends wanted to play with her, she got upset easily and sent them away.

She also forgot many things her teacher taught at school. Sometimes she came to school looking sad. And the worst part was, she didn’t like to study any more.

Everyone was worried about Minos and wanted to help her be happy again. When they went to the doctor, the doctor said Minos needed to sleep 10 to 12 hours every night.

Did Minos change her sleep habits?

Yes, Minos realized that she wasn’t getting enough sleep at night. She decided to go to bed at 8 pm when Daddy turned off the light and stopped playing.

After just one week, Minos felt better. She wasn’t tired and grumpy any more. She felt happy, and she could remember everything her teacher taught. So, be like Minos and make sure you sleep well every night.
