Hey everyone, trusty here.
One of the things I love about hosting Who Smarted is getting to answer all of those amazing questions from Curious Smarty Pants.
And that's why I'm excited to tell you about another show that does exactly that, our friend's podcast, But Why, a podcast for curious kids.
Have you ever asked something like, why does the wind blow?
Or does skyscrapers actually scrape the sky?
And you weren't quite sure of the answer?
Well, but why has you covered?
They've answered questions from over 16 ,000 kids across 90 countries, and they're not afraid to tackle any topic, even the gross ones that make grown up squirm.
I mean, they have whole episodes about poop and making paint from spit and rocks.
How cool is that? Their team gets real experts to answer real questions from real kids like you.
So if your family loves learning interesting stuff on Who Smarted, you'll definitely want to check out But Why.
You can find But Why wherever you get your podcasts.
Hello, smarty pants and welcome to trusty trivia Thursday.
Today, we're dreaming up some fun facts about sleep.
Before we begin, let's give a nice big shout out to Claire in Naperville, Illinois.
Hi, Claire. We're so happy to have you smarting with Who Smarted.
And I'm glad you find the show so funny.
Keep up the great work smarty pants.
And now let's snooze through some sleep trivia.
First question. How many hours of sleep do most kids need each night?
Is it A, six to seven B, eight to 10, or C, 12 to 14?
Did you go with B? That is absolutely correct.
Most kids need eight to 10 hours of sleep each night to stay healthy and alert.
Next question. What part of the brain controls sleep?
Is it A, the cerebellum?
B, the hypothalamus?
Or C, the hippocampus?
Did you choose B? Spot on.
The hypothalamus regulates sleep by controlling your internal clock.
Last question. What is the term for dreams that you can control?
Is it A, daydreams?
B, lucid dreams? Or C, nightmares?
Did you select B? Exactly right.
Lucid dreaming is when you're aware you're dreaming and can sometimes control it.
Restful success, smarty pants.
Join us next Thursday for more brain boosting trivia.
