What Causes a ‘Good’ Sleep to Feel Restful?

A good night's sleep feels restful because your brain is doing special work while you're asleep. Imagine your brain is like a tidy room, during the day, it gets messy with all the thoughts and feelings. At night, your brain cleans up this mess so you feel fresh in the morning. When your brain does this well, you wake up happy and rested.
