What Would Happen if You Never Slept?

Description

I’M NOT GOING TO BED! What would happen if you took it to the extreme and never slept? This humorous, fact-based cautionary tale shows the effects of no sleep on your body–and your social life! For kids who want to know the why of everything, author Thomas Kingsley Troupe takes readers down an imaginative, subtly instructive path of what ifs. If you never sleep, forgetfulness and confusion give way to bicycle accidents, hallucinations, and a compromised immune system, leading to the conclusion that sleep is good after all. Expressive illustrations bring these narrative nonfiction stories to life. Fun facts, tips for healthy sleep, a glossary, and further resources enhance learning.
