      Almost, it’s not more active but as active as when you are awake. This is beacuse your brain is consolidating knowledge and memories and even removing bad brain cells. So there’s a lot going on while you’re just sleeping!

      Yes, like Rebecca said, there is a lot going on – just imagine how active your brain must be to produce all your dreams!
