      Hi @winnie13
      If you literally laid on your bed all day then tried to sleep at night you would probably struggle! Compared to lying awake all day, playing computer games would burn more calories, and also would stimulate your brain more as it would have more input through visual and sensory paths.

      However, neither of these is a particularly good way to spend a whole day, and I think you’d struggle sleeping whichever you did!

      What do you think about this? Are you looking for a way to prove to your Mum that playing computer games is a good way to spend your day? 😉
