Hello. My name is Doctor Ranj. Welcome to my surgery.

-Are you well?

-ALL: Yes!

Good! But someone's not feeling well.

I wonder who my next patient is?

Who's come to visit me? Can you guess which friend it is?

Let's see.

It's...Kiwa!

Wooh!

# I've got wheels and I can ride

# I can whizz down any slide

# I've got wheels, I've got wheels

# I've got wheels

# I've got wheels

# The doctor knows I need adventure fun and speed

# I've got wheels, round and round and round, I've got wheels

# Whizzing round, I've got wheels round and round and round

# I've got wheels, whizzing round I've got wheels! #

Wooh!

Come on in, Kiwa!

Kiwa.

Where is she?

KIWA SNORES

-Get off, Charlie! Down, dog!

-Wake up, Kiwa!

Uh? Uh...

-Where am I?

-You've come to see me but you fell asleep.

KIWA YAWNS

-I keep doing that.

-Why don't you come in and tell me all about it?

So you keep falling asleep?

You know how I like to take my dog out for a walk in the mornings?

Well, this morning, I knew I should get up...

KIWA YAWNS

..but I kept falling asleep.

-That doesn't sound right. You like getting out.

-I shouted at Charlie.

I called him a bad dog and said I didn't like him. But I do.

He looked really sad.

I got hot and cross.

-Are you getting enough sleep?

-I don't sleep very much right now.

But I don't need sleep.

I don't like it. It's boring.

I could be playing table tennis in the park.

-Sleep is good for you. Why don't you like it?

-Well...

I'm the youngest so I have to go to bed first all on my own.

-And it's dark.

-I used to be scared of the dark when I was little.

Really? Actually, I don't like the dark too.

That's why I don't like going to bed. It's horrible!

Every night, when I'm in bed, there's a strange shadow on my wall.

It's round like a pumpkin and I'm not even kidding you.

Sometimes, the shadows on our walls can make the objects look different.

Our imaginations make up stories.

We think we see something strange

but they're just shadows of things we see every day.

Let's see what shadows we can make.

What's this?

It's blobby, it's huge, it's got arms and legs.

I don't want to meet it!

-Look, it's a teddy bear!

-Oh yes! It did look different!

-What's this?

-That looks just like the shadow in my room!

What is it?

A globe? I've got a globe in my room.

Ha! Ha! That's what's making the shadow!

Clever girl!

-So I don't need to worry about shadows.

-Not at all.

The reason you're feeling grumpy is you're not getting enough sleep.

But it's so boring, snoring!

KIWA SNORES

-Let's ask Nurse Morag why we ALL need sleep.

-OK.

COMPUTER BEEPS

-Hello, Nurse Morag!

-Hey! Is that you, Kiwa?

Yes, it's me, Nurse Morag.

Can you tell me...

KIWA YAWNS

..why do our bodies need sleep?

That's a good question. We all need sleep.

But that's one for my Healthy Helpers.

# Catch that ball, yeah it's your go

# Give me questions, catch and throw

# Healthy Helpers will show and tell

# How you can keep fit and well

# Catch that ball, it's your go give me questions, catch and throw

# Healthy Helpers will show and tell how you can keep fit and well

# Ask me what you need to know

# Catch that ball, it's your go give me questions, catch and throw

# Healthy helpers will show and tell

# How you can keep fit and well

# Ask me what you need to know

# Give me questions catch and throw. #

Today, I'm in Newcastle. My Healthy Helpers are...

I'm Lewis. I like to jump in the pool.

Hello. My name is Lola and I love to play with my baby brother.

Hello. My name is Tas.

I like to play in the grass.

Hello. My name is Poppy. When I get older, I'm going to be a singer.

We'll have to be very quiet today because someone is asleep.

It's baby Sam.

But unlike baby Sam, poor Kiwa couldn't sleep properly.

Have you guys ever had trouble sleeping?

My daddy's snoring.

Your daddy's snoring?

That would be hard to sleep.

-If you fall out of bed.

-That would keep you awake.

I've got a question for you.

How long do you think babies sleep for?

-Lots.

-I think so too.

What if we turn the bricks round.

The moons are when the baby's asleep.

We'll do this one just now.

Babies are only awake for this much time.

But they are asleep for all this time.

How long do you think you sleep for?

-Do you think you sleep as long as a baby?

-No.

-No?

I think you are asleep for this amount of time

and you're awake for this amount of time.

What about me? Do you think I sleep as long as you guys?

No? I think you're right. I sleep for this much of the day.

I'm awake for that much of the day.

If we look, we've got the baby,

who sleeps all this time and then we've got you guys,

that sleep for this much time.

I only sleep for this much time.

Why do babies sleep so much?

Because they're so tired.

I think it's because when babies are asleep,

they're growing.

You still have a lot of growing so you need a lot of sleep

whereas I'm a grown-up and don't need as much sleep.

Have you ever gone to bed feeling grumpy and unhappy

but when you wake up, you feel better?

ALL: Yes!

Shall we find out why that is?

-ALL: Yes!

-OK.

My goodness! Come on in!

Can we get through the mess? Over here, darling.

Let's imagine that this is your bedroom.

All this mess has to be cleared away, ready for the next day.

Let's get this mess tidied up.

This is what is happening when you are asleep. Tidying up.

When you are in bed, your head is tidying itself up

so that you're ready to play the next day.

The thoughts you don't need, it throws away.

The ones you need to keep it tidies up so you find them quickly.

Right. Well done for tidying up!

Kiwa, I hope you can see now how important sleep is.

Sleep is definitely not boring.

Your body and head are working hard all the time while you're asleep

to make sure that you're stronger and happier in the morning.

ALL: Bye-bye, Kiwa!

Sleep tight!

I'll try, Nurse Morag.

Thank you. Bye-bye.

Bye!

Now you know why sleep is so important,

let's see if we can help you.

I've got an idea. Follow me.

How about a new bedtime routine to get you off to sleep more quickly?

That means doing the same thing every night before you sleep.

Before bed, a warm bath can relax you.

I always brush my teeth, have a wee and get help to get my pyjamas on.

That's good. After your bath, brush your teeth and have a wee.

It's best not to eat or drink anything too close to bedtime.

-Some foods can keep you awake.

-Okey-dokey.

Then I have a story or read a book or I watch a film.

A story is great but watching a film is not so good at bedtime.

-It might make you too excited.

-People say I get excited.

But there's so much to get excited about!

You have to make sure your bed is comfy

and your room is not too light.

Ooh! That's too dark!

Better?

KIWA SIGHS

If it's too dark, ask for a night light

or have the door to the hall open to let some light in.

HE CLICKS HIS FINGERS

Ask someone to play some soothing music.

Ah! Lovely!

This music is making me feel...really...

KIWA SNORES

# Hush now, quiet, no time to lose

# Your head's so tired it's time to snooze

# Remember what the doctor said

# Eat well, sleep well, go to bed

# Breakfast, lunchtime, supper too

# Eat what you know is good for you

# When you have a weary head

# Lie down, snuggle, in your bed

# Hush now, quiet, no time to lose

# Your head's so tired it's time to snooze

# Remember what the doctor said

# Eat well, sleep well, go to bed

# And if you're worn out tired all day

# It's time to sleep not time to play

# Find your pyjamas or your sleeping vest

# Take a little nap cos rest is best

# Hush now, quiet, no time to lose

# Your head's so tired it's time to snooze

# Remember what the doctor said

# Eat well, sleep well, go to bed

# Eat well, sleep well, go to bed. #

KIWA SNORES

-Kiwa! Kiwa!

-Get off the bed, Charlie!

Wake up, it's time to go home!

-Ugh... What?

-You feel asleep again.

Oh. I think this new bedtime routine is going to work.

In a few days, with the right amount of sleep,

you'll wake up fresh and alert.

I feel so much better already!

Good! Here you go.

Brilliant!

-Bye!

-Bye!

I hope you all sleep well tonight too.

In the morning, be happy, be healthy.

If you're not feeling well, it's best to see your doctor.

Get well soon.
