Q4. Tanush is a bright and cheerful boy who loves school. He enjoys learning new things,
playing with his friends and participating in various school activities. However, there
is one problem that he faces quite often – he is always late to school and dozes off
during the classes.

The reason for his being late is that he likes to stay up late at night. Tanush has
fascination for reading adventure stories and he loses track of time while reading
exciting books under his blanket with a flashlight. As a result, he sleeps late at night
and finds it hard to wake up early in the morning.

Do you think he follows a good routine? Justify.
