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 think I sleep well. I go to bed at 10 o’clock p.m. I don’t play games for an hour before I go to sleep. I don’t think too much before bedtime. Because if your brain is busy and full I will sleep very bad. I don’t watch TV before bedtime.
I sleep sometimes very well but some days I don't sleep very well. I think we must sleep early. It is very good for our brain.

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 !
I can't sleep well, every time I wake up I feel very tired
Yes i do, 7hours
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.
