🇬🇧🇨🇳 sleep - 睡觉 : English Lesson

Meaning of "sleep" ("睡觉"), detailed definition, and a short video lesson below.

Sleep is the special quiet time when your body lies still, your eyes are closed, and your mind is mostly turned off from the outside world so you can rest and get your energy back. During sleep, you don’t talk or play (unless you’re dreaming), and you usually don’t remember what happens around you. Sleep helps your body grow, your brain learn, and your mood feel better, so it’s like your built‑in nightly supercharger.
