Two brothers share a room. One is asleep, but the other is WIDE awake. He has a burning question: why do we sleep in beds?

When Magnus can’t fall asleep, big brother Kasper lets him climb into bed. But NO talking. Little brothers can’t help talking though, and one little question is going to lead them both on an adventure: why do we sleep in beds?
