This week we have wonderful author Sophie Dahl answering 'why are tortoises so slow?' based on her experience with her pet tortoise, Torty!


We also work out why you might get a headache if you eat a lot of ice-cream quickly.


As well as when lions and other animals from koalas to the world's smallest birds sleep!


You'll get a chance to win a signed copy of Sophie Dahl's new book, The Worst Sleepover in the World.
