S is for Snore

Sounds, Sleep

Sometimes when you are asleep, while you breathe the soft tissues at the back of your mouth vibrate and make a noise, which is called snoring. Snoring can be quite quiet, or very loud and annoying enough to keep anyone else near them awake.

T is for Tired

Emotions, Sleep

You are tired when you are sleepy and need to go to bed, or when you have worked really hard and are exhausted and worn out. The little boy in the picture is very tired.

Y is for Yawn

Verbs, Sleep

A yawn is where your mouth opens wide and you take a deep breath in and out. Yawns just happen by themselves, they are hard to stop.
People and animals yawn when they are tired, stressed, overworked or bored, or for no reason at all. Yawning is infectious - if someone near you yawns, you often start yawning too! You might even start to yawn by looking at a photo of someone yawning, so don't stare at the photo of the yawning cat for too long.
