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.

Hello. Sometimes, I can sleep because I have a exam or I'm worried about something. I sleep normaly about 9 or 10 hours
Hi every body.
I'm new here. How can I develop my skills in listening and speaking?
Hi Molham, and welcome to LearnEnglish Teens! Here in the listening skills section, you're in the right place to practise and improve listening. The more you listen, the better you will get, and you'll learn lots of useful new language too. If this page was easy for you, try level A2 or B1.
Now ... exciting news! We're working on a new speaking skills section! It's not ready yet, but look out for it later this year. Best wishes, Joanna (LearnEnglish Teens)
Wow..., I thought you're working on a new sleeping skills section!!
Anyway, looking forward to it.

An other question...sleep is a verb, we can say: "your brain takes longer to sleep" or "five top tips for sleeping well"
Hi again shamim ;)
Yes, that's right!
Sleep can be a verb but it can also be a noun. Take a look at our online dictionary to see all its uses. On the right-hand side of our website you will see a box that says Online dictionary. Type 'sleep' in there and then click Look it up.

Hi Tina
thank you so much for your responses.
Regards,
I have a question..."fall in sleep" is true?
I fall in sleep as soon as I go to bed.
Hi shamim!
In English we would say 'I fall asleep as soon as I go to bed'.
Asleep is an adjective after the verb in this sentence - take a look at our online definition for asleep.

I sleep well every night.
Hello to every one..
Actually, I'm not sleeping so much...Because I'm always reading or playing to my computer before to sleep.
If somebody could tell me how to change my mind with my computer, it would be great..
Does reading before sleeping has any effect??
Thanks for your answer. =-)
Hey Katana!
There's many disadvantages of using computer or smartphone before going to sleep. But book reading before going to sleep is very useful. It helps you relax plus it helps improve your brain power. It increases your intelligence and helps you get a good sleep but using smartphone or tablet to read books before going to bed is not useful. It keeps you awake longer and it hurts your sleep. Hope it helped you!
But.......now it's better.....I'm going to bed at 8:45
often i can sleep good .but at weekends not so well ,because i´m sleeping at day too long and therefore i can´t fall asleep quickly.
I sleep well sometimes but not often.
I often sleep 6-10 hours a day but sometimes I sleep 7-11 hours a day.
Sounds good!!

I sleep well,but sometimes i fear that i won`t wake up.I sleep about seven or eight hours a day.And sometimes i wake up to repeat everything that i learned just to make sure that i don`t forget it.
