One in every five young people has a sleep problem, so you’re not alone. Getting enough sleep has become as important as eating vegetables and exercising regularly. It’s very important for your body. Most young people only get seven hours of sleep each night, when they actually need nine hours. And making up for lost sleep during the week by sleeping on weekends. It doesn’t really work. In fact, sleeping late on weekends may actually do you more harm that good, if you have sleep problems.
What happens if you don’t get enough sleep? If your sleep problem continues for a few nights, you could suffer serious problems. Lack of sleep can affect learning and memory. Worse, if your sleep difficulties last a long time, that could lead to anxiety or depression(抑郁). Therefore, you’ve got to have some healthy sleep habits. Below are some suggestions:
GO to bed at the same time—including weekends, if possible.
WAKE up around the same time every morning. When you wake up late just one morning during the week, it may disturb your body clock. This will make it hard for you to sleep that night.
DO something relaxing before going to bed.
EXERCISE during the day. Don’t exercise right before going to bed.
AVOID drinking alcohol. Alcohol makes you excited. This prevents you from falling asleep or wakes you up during the night.
DON’T smoke. Smoking is always bad for the body. Smoking before bedtime keeps you awake. If trying these tips over a couple of weeks does not help you, speak to your doctor. Do not take any sleeping pills without first asking your doctor. Many have strong side effects.

Maurice Sendak’s children’s book, Where the Wild Things Are, came out in 1963.It has become very successful throughout the years and was made into a movie in 2009.
The hero of the book is a boy named Max who gets into trouble with his mother and is sent to bed without any supper. Before long, Max’s room magically becomes a forest, and he walks to a land where monsters (怪物) live. Max isn’t scared, though, and becomes the king of the wild things, but after a while, he wants to go home. When Max walks back home, his supper is still hot in his bedroom.
Many teachers and professors like this story and use it to help children develop their imaginations. Melina Davis, a professor of education, said she likes how the bookcontains (包含) a couple of pages that have only pictures on them. “This allows children to shape the story themselves,” she said.The book contains a few larger words. Some parents worry it may confuse (使迷惑) children, but experts say those words help improve children’s reading skills.
Davis said the book is well written which helps kids become interested in the story. “The book talks about what all children go through, like ‘I was naughty (淘气的) but my mommy still loves me’,” said Davis.
The book also encourages children to face their fears. “I think it’s really good to show that Max is friends with the monsters,” said Davis. “Kids can find out monsters aren’t always the things under the bed that are going to scare them. I think this is good because it shows children that they can go to scary places but still have a positive experience.”
