The Story of Sammy the Sleepy Star
In the magical world of Skyland, there was a little star named Sammy. Sammy loved shining brightly in the night sky, but he had one bad habit—he always stayed up too late. While his star friends went to bed on time, Sammy kept twinkling long after bedtime.
One morning, Sammy felt too tired to shine. “What’s wrong, Sammy?” asked Luna, the Moon.
“I didn’t get enough sleep,” Sammy yawned. “I wanted to see how long I could stay awake.”
Luna smiled gently. “Sleep is important, Sammy. Let me tell you why.”
Why Sleeping Early is Important
- Gives You Energy
“When you sleep early, your body recharges like a battery,” Luna explained. “Without sleep, you’ll feel tired, just like you do now.” - Makes You Smart
“Sleep helps your brain store everything you learned during the day,” added Luna. “If you don’t sleep enough, you might forget things or feel confused.” - Keeps You Healthy
“Your body grows and heals while you sleep,” Luna said. “Without enough rest, you might feel sick or moody.”

That night, Sammy decided to sleep early with his friends. When morning came, he felt bright and happy. “Wow! I feel amazing!” he said. “Now I can shine even brighter.”
Sammy kept his promise to sleep early, and he became the brightest star in Skyland. All his friends admired him, and he never felt tired again.
