1.What are the complications of bad sleeping patterns?

2. What steps can prepare our bodies for going to sleep?

3. What is the impact of sleepless nights at exam time?

4. Why is sleep so important for people?

5. What can be dangerous about watching a movie late at night?

6. Which lesson should help children sleep well?

7. In what kind of environment do people usually sleep best?

7. In what kind of environment do people usually sleep best?

A. It’s common knowledge that people sleep best in a dark room that is slightly cool. It’s important to close your blinds or curtains and make sure they’re heavy enough to block out the light. You can add extra blankets or wear pyjamas if you’re cold. Note that an uncomfortable bed, heat and noise can ruin a good night’s sleep. A TV is also a distraction.

4. Why is sleep so important for people?

B. If you don’t sleep enough or have a disturbed sleep you can get heart disease, high blood pressure and even diabetes. People who don’t sleep enough get colds and flu more often than those who do. Moreover, recent research proves that poor sleepers gain weight more easily than people who sleep well. Extra kilos are the reaction of the body to the stressful sleepless situation.

5. What can be dangerous about watching a movie late at night?

C. Think twice before watching a movie late at night. Don’t spend sleeping time on endless computer games. The thing is that by getting up and going to bed at the same time every day, even on weekends, you teach your body to follow a healthy regime. You’ll quickly fall asleep, will have a good night’s sleep and will wake up at the expected time feeling fresh and active.

2. What steps can prepare our bodies for going to sleep?

D. Some easy steps can prepare your body for going to sleep. You probably have some regular bedtime habits, even if you don’t realise it. Brushing your teeth, taking a shower, reading a book and setting your alarm clock may all be part of your evening routine. Remember that you should perform these activities in the same manner and in the same order every night.

3. What is the impact of sleepless nights at exam time?

E. Sleepless nights at exam time are very bad for students. If you prepare for your exam late at night, it will not improve your performance during the exam. On the contrary, it will affect your ability to concentrate, to react quickly and to analyse information. Recent research shows that the results of the tests written after sleepless nights are lower than usual grades.

6. Which lesson should help children sleep well?

F. If you think that during sleep, the brain rests, you’re mistaken. It’s a common myth about sleep. Sleep is definitely needed — but it’s not your brain that needs to rest, it’s your body that needs to relax. Your brain is still working when you’re asleep, controlling physical functions like breathing and your heart beat. However, because the brain does not have to go through the constant stress of thinking, you get up refreshed and recharged.

8. A Hidden Problem

4.Source of the Problem

A. You can often find articles and books addressing the problem of procrastination. If you don’t know this word, you might think it was a terrible disease. In reality, procrastination can be defined as a bad habit of doing something less important in order to avoid doing something more important. People procrastinate in many different areas, but we will focus on procrastinating at school, where it is a frequent problem.

5.Take It Easy!

B. Procrastination at school can lead to poor grades, low test scores, and finally not getting into a good university. Another negative result of procrastination is the stress of waiting to the last minute to do something. This can lead to staying up all night to prepare for a test. Also, the constant stress of having something hanging over your head, being scolded and criticized by teachers and parents can lead to feelings of guilt and worthlessness.

6.Hard to Guess the Meaning

C. Usually it is very obvious when somebody is procrastinating, for example, playing video games instead of doing homework. Sometimes, however, it can be less obvious. Sharpening your pencils and cleaning your desk may fool some people into thinking you are working hard, but can also be forms of procrastination. Some pupils are even able to fool themselves into thinking they are working, when they are just trying to avoid real work.

Dangerous Consequences

D. It is not always clear why people procrastinate. Some are just lazy or don’t have enough willpower, but there may be other reasons, perfectionism for one. Some people are afraid that they will be judged by others as failures if their work is less than perfect. For example, a pupil may fear the judgment of parents and teachers on a school report. According to psychologists, this fear of failure may be a cause of procrastination.

1.Just Do It!

E. Although it is difficult, there are ways to stop procrastinating. One way of doing it is to find out why you are procrastinating and deal with those problems. If you are a perfectionist, try to do the task quickly and not worry about it being perfect. Another solution, especially when the task seems too big, is to break it into smaller steps and do those one by one. This may lessen the desire to procrastinate.

8.A Hidden Problem

F. Still, procrastinating can be a good thing. For those who spend much more time working on a project than is necessary, waiting until the last minute can be a more economical use of time. Also, some people while procrastinating do things that are creative or useful in other ways. Finally, a certain amount of procrastination is part of human nature. Feeling guilty about it can be worse and more damaging than the procrastination itself.

2.Just What the Doctor Ordered

G. Procrastination is also a popular subject of laughter in films and TV shows and there are many coffee mugs, cartoons, and notebooks covered with jokes about it. Though many people consider it a serious psychological problem and even view it as a kind of disease, others laugh about it and are even proud to be procrastinators
