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 dont sleep really well. i usually stay up late because i'm always interested in computer, facebook, instagram, movies... so i dont want to sleep. sometimes i thought too much so it's difficult to sleep
I always promise to myself that i'll go to bed earlier because it's good for my health, my skin but i never did.
some days i had enough sleep and some days i didnt.
sometimes I don't really sleep well.My brain works very much. It makes a headache for me, I feel quite nervous then.
I also do my homework at night, maybe It made my headache more and more. and I have to take my medicine a lot.
I don't know what to do to improve my sleep.
can you share me a few solution?thank you for reading
Hi nguyenvu,
Thanks for your comment. If you have a lot of problems sleeping maybe you should talk to your parents about it, also to a doctor. It sounds like you may need some help to start sleeping properly again. Sleep is really important for a healthy life. I'm not an expert on this, but maybe keep the last hour before you go to sleep free from homework or any electronic devices. Read a good book that you enjoy and try to relax before bedtime. Is that possible?
Best wishes, Jo (LearnEnglish Teens team)

He he...zzz
I usually sleep about 5 or 6 hours but its not enough for me. I have to sleep minimum 8 hours but I don't have enough time for sleep in a day. That's why, I always feel tired.
You know what, my mum tells me that a good sleep helps our brain rest and be creative! It's much better than wasting time with an online friend to generate a codependent addict! What do you think?
Well, I usually go to sleep very late. It makes me tired so much. I tried my best to go to bed earlier, but it's exactly very hard.
I go to bed at 10 or later
I usually sleep 5 or 6 hours every night.
But i like sleep with radio on and sometimes with television. Often I listen to music before go to bed and of course I know that's wrong but I don't turn off my phone before I falling asleep. But to be honest I usually sleep very well most of the times.
I usually sleep well, 7-8 hours a day
I dont not sleep very well,4-7 hours,aproximately.
Why? jummmmm.
Good night.
I sleep very well about 9-10 hours a day
I usually sleep very well, and sleep for eight hours.
I usually go to bed at 12 and listen to music before
Did she just say lots people need a good sleep during the exam and a Dr come in and talk. Though it would be a teacher in a Uni or somewhere.
usually i sleep only 6 hours, because i work and study a lot
i dont think that i sleep well cause i usually use my smart phone on the bed and my brain think too much about my girlfriend :)
Yes, i sleep very well and comfortably. But i don't have a fixed time for it. I usually sleep for 7 to 9 hours and sometimes 10.
Me either!
AAaa━Σ╰(°ㅂ° )╯━aaahh!!
Yeasterday, I had 8h sleep. But still I'm feeling sleepy...
..... ▄█▀█● zzzZZZ
I hope I'm free from any desease...
Hehe same with me! If i sleep for 8 or 9 hours sometimes sadly it becomes 11 hours because when i wake up i feel too sleepy sometimes i sleep and wake up after 2 hours. I hate this very much! Waste of time...plus i don't go to school i study in my home and also memorizing a very big book in another language.
Thanks sarfraz,
yeah... I always try to avoid second sleep, you know, too much of a good thing...
You know what, my mum tells me that a good sleep helps our brain rest and be creative! It's much better than wasting time with an online friend to generate a codependent addict! What do you think?
Good luck with your study!
