Why Do We Count Sheep to Fall Asleep?

Counting sheep is a fun and simple way to get sleepy. It's like telling your brain, 'Okay, it's time to rest.' Imagine you're on a farm, every time you say sheep, one goes to sleep, and soon you’re asleep too! If the sheep are too loud or wiggly, you can change them to something else, like ducks or cars. The idea is that your brain gets tired of counting and falls asleep with you.
