5. Sleep habits

Sleep is important for our health. When we do not get enough sleep, it is difficult to concentrate. We can get tired during the day. It is difficult to decide what to do. And, we may not have enough energy to do it. You may think that when you sleep your body is resting. But, actually your body is repairing itself. Inside of you, your body is working hard to make your bones healthy. It is important that you give your body time to do this. To be healthier, start good sleep hab- its. Go to bed early. Don’t stay up late. Or, you may fall asleep on the sofa in front of the TV. It is important to go to bed at the same time every night.

Try to get 7-8 hours sleep a night. And, get up at the same time every day. Also, make your bedroom a re- laxing place. Keep your bedroom at a cool temperature. Make sure your bed is comfortable. Another way to help you sleep well is not to use your smartphone late at night. Switch it off. At night, if you can’t sleep, get up. Have a drink of water. Then, go back to bed. Don’t switch on your phone to check your messages. Don’t switch on the TV. This will keep you awake. Good sleep habits mean you will go to sleep quickly. You will sleep well.
