Questions

Why sleeps?

Young children understand “sleeps” better than “days”: it is what they can feel happen each night.

Is my birthday sent anywhere?

No. Only a month and a day, with no year and no name, kept in this browser. You can forget it with one button.

Which days are in the list?

A short list of everyday days, such as New Year's Day, Pi Day, Earth Day and Halloween. For any other date, use the countdown to a date.
