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 sleep very well and i sleep around five hours
i want to sleep every time but i have any time to do it :(
easy study english
Hmm... I think i rarely have a good bed time. I play a lot in the daytime, and I just study in the night. And when I go to bed, i use smartphone a long time before I really sleep. I just sleep 5 hours, then I wake up in the morning and go to school, but I always feel sleepy too much. So, I spend my weekend to sleep all day. I think I need to improve myself better.
i don't really sleep well every night but i'm trying to, I usually sleep for less than 8 hours
we really need to sleep well at night so we can spend our next day with a good health , Thank you for the tips
I sleep very well.I sleep 9 or 10 hours a night.
I like sleeping, but I sleep 5-6 hours every day
Yes, I do...... I do sleep well. But when I'm in bad moments I can't sleep well and it's normal for others also.
I sleep about 6 - 7 hours a day.
I don't think so, I only sleep five to six hours a day and sometimes it makes me sleepy during the day.
Me too. when I sleep less than 9 hours , I feel sleepy.
Awesome learning , keep it up !

Hello everyone, This is my first comment here :)
I don't sleep well and that's why I'm always tired in the morning. My main problem is that many of my dorm friends sleep late at night. I can't sleep because of being disturbed. So my daily sleep is 5-6 hours and that is not enough for me. sleep tips for me so that the morning feels fit and doesn't feel tired in the morning.
It is good material for learning how to listening well thank you.
How long you can sleep well using all of that tips ?
I sleep well last night, about 7 hours. But in the morning I was sleepy
I didn't sleep well last night. The weather is too hot. I try to sleep but I couldn't. I left my bed and went out. Suddenly, I saw something in the corner of my room. I came close and touched it. And it jumped on my hand. It was a mouse. Terrible! I threw it away and ran into the bathroom. And I saw another mouse. What a horrible night! I couldn't sleep all night. And I was late for school this morning. I hate mouse. Tonight, I will check the room before going to bed. I wish I will sleep well tonight.
Excuse me, I've been trying to download the audio file, but it is not working.
I am using chrome and it says "this site can't be reached".
how can I solve this problem?
Hi Sea_Pearl,
Thanks for your comment. I've just checked and the audio file downloads fine so I think your problem is a local one on your computer. Please try on another computer or device and try another browser. You can also try to 'clear the cache' on Chrome and then try again.

I sleep well but, i think a lot after bedtime. Leave fron now. I don’t go to do that again. I sleep seven hours at night
No, i don't sleep very well because i have many ideas during the sleeping-time.And i sleep eight to ninth hours for a night.
please teach me about what does it mean "It's great to be here". Dr Baker said in the studio.
Hi Mughal! This is a phrase commonly used by a guest on a show or television programme. When the presenter introduces the guest or says 'Welcome', the guest can reply 'It's great to be here' (= I am happy to be here / I am happy to be here on this show). Does that help? :)

Thanks.yes it does.
why is the audio file not playing?
Hi Emy99. I've just tested it, and it seems to be working fine for me. Can you tell us which browser you are using (e.g. Chrome, Safari)?
If it doesn't play for you, here are some things you can try.
Let us know how it goes :)
