Host: At exam time it is important to sleep well. Today we have Doctor Baker with us in the studio and he is going to give us five top tips for getting a good night’s sleep. Welcome to the show, Doctor Baker.
Dr Baker: Thank you. It’s great to be here. Let’s start with tip one. Don’t go to bed with the television on. Some people think they can sleep well with the TV on, but the noise and lights mean you don’t really sleep well, so turn it off!
Tip two: Don’t think too much before bedtime. Do your hardest homework earlier in the evening. Do easier homework later. If your brain is too busy and full of ideas it takes longer to get to sleep.
Tip three: Don’t play video games for an hour before you go to sleep. They also make your brain too busy and active.
Tip four: Turn off your cell phone when you go to bed. What is so important that it can’t wait until the morning? If possible, leave your phone in another room.
Tip five: Play music if you like. But don’t play it too loud. Turn the sound down low.
Host: Thank you, Doctor. That is very useful advice for our young listeners.

I always sleep very well because I don't have phone yet I'm still young and my television is not in the bedroom. I also sleep with good aircon and I sleep around 8 hours then I wake up at 6:00 AM
Hello! I usually sleep not good, but I suddenly sleep bad. I can't sleep, because I think about a lot of information in my life. How I can decide my problems. I think I sleep bad , because I spend time in my phone a lot of time before a dream.

I think it sometimes. When today or tomorrow has some special event, then I was very excited so I can't sleep well. I just keep thinking and about it. I often go to bed at 10 p.m. and I wake up at 7 a.m. So my daily sleep is 6-7 hours a day.
Well, I do not think so, I am a person who actually sleep like 5-6 hours, honestly I always fell so bad after wake up so my conclusion is that you should sleep the 8 hours that the doctors and scientists recommend for all the people
