JavaScript help! syntax error: unexpected token {

var sleepCheck = Function(numHours) { if (numHours <= 8) { return "You're getting plenty of sleep! Maybe even to much!"; } else { return "Get some more shut eye!"; } };

Im assuming that means that there is a misplaced "{" somewhere but from my understanding the function needs to me incased in {} as well as the code inside both if and else sections.

I know its prob something small but I cant figure it out! please help!

The answer has to do with the proper capitalization of a JavaScript keyword. Try a few things...if you need additional help, let me know. :)
