'Parada' is the noun 'stop'. 'Stopping' is also a noun; it's the object of a preposition. 'Stopping' is a gerund (a word that stems from a verb, but acts as a noun). The Spanish equivalent is the infinitive.

En esos descansos, también escucho música, sueno despierta y charlo con mis amigos en Facebook."
'Soñar' is the infinitive form of the verb. It's a stem-changing verb in the present tense, which is why the 'o' changes to 'ue'. The letter I marked in red is incorrect.

Mi hermano se acosta mucho más tarde."
'Acostar' is the infinitive form of the verb. It's a stem-changing verb in the present tense. In fact, it follows the same pattern as 'soñar'.
More hints given.
