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.

Hi! I sleep well, but sometimes bad. I sleep about 6 or 7 hours.
I spend 5 hours sleeping because I have a lot of homework. When I have to wake up early, I feel so tired. Thanks for useful advice!
Hi! Sometimes I sleep well, sometimes bad. I usualy sleep about 6 or 7 hours. Thank you for these 5 tips for a good sleep.
I sleep a lots in morning and can't sleep in the evening. My doctor told me not to think about the bad things and stress but it's really hard for me. Wish everything would be better in the future.
Hi mydream2k2. I hope you can find a good way to destress, like doing exercise, spending time with friends, reading or practising one of your hobbies. :)

I always sleep well, I sleep about 7-8 hours
I sleep 9-10 hours, so I don't have to take a nap in the afternoon.

My afternoons are always drowsy... :!
I often sleep well and I spend about 6-7 hours a night sleeping.But sometimes I don't sleep well because of worry or stress...
Hi everyone! Per night I only sleep about 6 hours. I seem It's very difficult to sleep well so in day I alway feel asleep :( :(
I usually a lot of homework so I often get some insomnia. It's really bad!
You know what, whenever you want to fall asleep, go to Learn English Kids, where you will find some quiet nursery songs! Have a try :)
LOL wkwkwk, but that's a good idea :) thanks yaa...
Hey, thanks for the idea! ✌
Yeah, it's the same here. Maybe if you could finish most of your homework in school, well, you could get a good night's sleep! ✌
yes, I've tried it but the reality is always difficult.
Yeah, I agree. Maybe you can utilize your weekends to sleep. At least, that's what I do! ✌
Very nice hahah
