A child plays in a sunny bedroom while an energy battery beside the room goes down one bar at a time, and at night the child gets into bed under the moon. While the child sleeps the battery fills back up bar by bar, and the child wakes up rested and ready to play, ending on the recap "Sleep fills up our energy."

What the lesson says
Why do we need sleep every night?
We start the day full of energy.
We jump and play all day long.
As we play, our energy goes down.
By night time, we feel tired.
It is time for bed, so we sleep.
While we sleep, our body rests.
Sleep helps our energy fill back up.
Good morning! We wake up feeling rested.
Now we are ready to play again.
So get a good long sleep every night.
Sleep rests our body and fills up our energy.
