1. What is the name of the small bug that started the series of yawning?

Answer: Van Vleck

This very small bug is responsible for starting the chain of yawns. Yawns are contagious, like coughs, and they soon spread to Van Vleck's friends and even across the whole country.

2. Why is it hard to sleep in the Zwieback Motel?

Answer: The sheets are too short.

The Zwieback Motel is known for being a difficult place to sleep at because the beds are uncomfortable like rocks and the sheets cannot cover your toes. However, on this night, all the people there are sound asleep.

3. How much does an Offt weigh?

Answer: Minus one pound

Offts live in the District of Dofft and the strange thing is that they sleep off the ground!

4. The Curious Crandalls are engaged in what nighttime activity?

Answer: Sleepwalking

The Curious Crandalls are sleepwalkers who sleepwalk on hills while wearing assorted sized candles. They wear them so that if they wake up, they know where they are. They keep on walking with the candles on their heads in spite of the slight burns that they get from the hot dripping grease.

5. At the Castle of Krupp, the old drawbridge draw-er will keep the bridge drawn until what?

Answer: The milkman delivers the milk.

Answer: Reno and Rome

The Audio-Telly-o-Tally-o Count is housed in a plexiglass dome on a mountain. It is a machine that looks into everyone's home and whenever it sees someone go to sleep, it drops a Biggel-Ball. The counter than makes a tally on a sheet of paper so we get a count of how many people are asleep.

Answer: On his head

It is said that a bed made from the pom poms of a Jedd is the softest of beds in the world.
