Dormouse

The Woodland Friends · The Little Creatures

Sleep is when the magic gets sorted.

What this friend is telling you

The dormouse is the forest's champion sleeper, curled up inside a pink foxglove bell like it is the world's best sleeping bag. Here is what the dormouse knows: sleep is not wasted time. While you sleep, your brain files away everything from the day — spelling words, dance steps, even big feelings get sorted overnight. That is why everything looks better in the morning. A good night's sleep is secretly a superpower.

Watch out for…

"one more episode" at bedtime. It quietly steals tomorrow's superpower.

Try this

Make tonight cozy on purpose. Dim light, a book, the same bedtime as yesterday. Tuck in like a dormouse in a foxglove.
