Lesson Plan

Journey Through Dreamland

Students will learn why sleep matters by exploring its science, discover healthy sleep habits through a fact sheet, create personalized sleep routine posters, and assess understanding with a quiz.

Quality sleep boosts growth, learning, and well-being. Teaching 5th graders the science and hygiene of sleep empowers them to build routines that improve focus, mood, and health.
