Reading
7 Read the article about people talking
about their problems with sleep.
Answer the questions.
A TONY
My sleep problem is really quite serious, but a
lot of people think that it’s normal and even funny.
I snore at night when I’m asleep – and my wife
says that it’s pretty loud! Now, I know snoring
isn’t unusual and there is a lot of advice on how to
stop someone snoring, but my snoring is different!
It’s linked to something called sleep apnoea. When
you snore it means that you can’t keep your throat
open when you’re asleep. In my case, I actually
stop breathing for ten seconds or more. My wife
notices that I’m not breathing and has to wake me
up. She’s really worried that one day I won’t wake
up! So am I.
B LIZZIE
My problem is very unusual and most people
have never heard of it. It’s called narcolepsy and it
has changed my whole life. Narcolepsy is when
people fall asleep anywhere at any time and they
can’t stop it. Since the problem started I’ve had to
stop work because you can’t do a good job if you
fall asleep in the middle of a conversation! I don’t
like going out with friends because I get
embarrassed about it and also I’ve had to stop
driving as it’s much too dangerous. I go to a
special sleep clinic now and they’re helping me a
lot.
C ROBERT
I’ve had this sleep problem since I was a child
and I know a lot of people who have the same
problem. It’s insomnia and that means I sleep very
badly. Sometimes I can’t get to sleep for hours and
sometimes I go to sleep OK, but I wake up in the
middle of the night and then I can’t get back to
sleep again. It’s horrible because the next day I
can’t concentrate on my work. It’s also very lonely
when you wake up in the dark and you think
you’re the only person awake in the world! The
doctor gave me sleeping tablets, but I don’t like
taking them because they make me feel bad the
next day.
