The need for sleep

We all stay up late sometimes to spend time with our friends or family, watch a late-night film or play our new
video game. We tell ourselves that we will be fine having only four or five hours of sleep a night because we
can always sleep in at the weekend. However, this may be bad for us in the future.
Why is sleep important?
When we sleep, our brain goes through the events of the previous day and releases hormones that control our
energy, mood and ability to think clearly. To do this, our brain needs between seven and eight hours of sleep.
If it gets less than this, we cannot concentrate, and so our mood and productivity goes down. Complicated
tasks become even harder to do. Recent research has also shown that it becomes difficult to make decisions.
What you can do to help yourself
• Try to go to sleep and get up at the same time every day. This helps you set your body clock and improve
the quality of your sleep. Choose a time to go to bed when you normally feel tired, and don’t stay up too
long.
• Avoid caffeine about ten hours before bedtime. Caffeine can be found in coffee, tea, chocolate milk
and some fizzy drinks. Caffeine is a well-known stimulant of our nervous system, so it helps to keep us
awake – something we’re trying to avoid!
• Try to calm down before bed. Worry and anger can make it difficult to sleep well. You can try developing
a relaxing bedtime routine to prepare your mind for sleep, such as meditation, taking a warm bath
or listening to soft music.
• Make your bedroom completely dark. The brain creates a hormone called melatonin, which is released
when it is dark outside and prepares the body for sleep. If you try to sleep when there is too much light, the
brain may decide that you’re not ready for sleep!
• Keep your bedroom cool. Most people sleep best in a slightly cool room, around 18°C. A bedroom that is
too hot or too cold is not good for quality sleep.
• Make sure nothing can disturb you. Sleeping in a quiet environment certainly helps – so keep your mobile
phone out of the bedroom!

1 What happens to the brain when we sleep?
A It replays the events of the previous day.
B It controls our mood.
C It thinks clearly.
D It loses the ability to think clearly.
2 How many hours of sleep does the brain
need?
A No less than seven.
B About ten hours each night.
C Four or five hours a night is enough.
D It is different every night.
3 Which drink is it safe to have before bedtime
because it does not contain caffeine?
A milk
B coffee
C hot chocolate
D tea
4 What’s the best bedroom environment to sleep
in?
A Hot and quiet.
B Warm and dark.
C Cool and quiet.
D Lots of light during the night.
5 Should you keep your mobile phone in your
bedroom when you sleep?
A Yes, because when you sleep, it can’t disturb
you.
B Yes, because it’s hard to fall asleep without
your mobile.
C No, because sleeping in a peaceful
environment allows you to sleep better.
D No, because it isn’t good for the environment.
