When you go to sleep at night, you probably think that you are not doing much. Your body
is in one place, your eyes are closed, and you don’t talk to people. But your body is doing

way people sleep.
They have found that your brain is actually very busy when you sleep.
There are several stages of sleep in a sleep cycle. You go through the sleep cycle multiple
times each night. Your brain’s activity level is a little different in each stage. The final stage

even though you are asleep. That is how this stage got its name. Most of your dreams
occur during REM sleep.

I was forced to stand in the background, and the sight of those cakes the pupils bought in a joyous uproar and devoured greedily and freely about me, overwhelmed me with passionate desire. Thus I began filling myself with water from the tap, in a corner of the yard and, every now and then, I returned to it, trying to drown my stomach to keep it qui
