What does SLEEP mean in Scrabble?
verb
To rest in the natural state of reduced consciousness in which the body relaxes and the mind becomes largely inactive.
To sleep is to enter a recurring state in which the eyes close, the muscles relax and awareness of the surrounding world fades, allowing the body and brain to recover from the day's activity. Humans and most other animals sleep in cycles that include distinct stages, some marked by rapid eye movement and vivid dreaming, others by deep, still rest. People also use the word loosely beyond literal rest, saying that a town seems to sleep when it is quiet at night, or that an old dispute sleeps when nobody raises it for years. Depriving a person of the chance to sleep for too long quickly affects mood, memory and physical health.
