Make Sure to Get Enough Sleep
Hey kids! Today I want to talk about a very important topic... sleep!
Sleep is really important. Many people don't get enough sleep.
睡眠很重要,但是很多人都睡太少。
How much sleep is enough?
Adults should get about eight hours of sleep. What about kids? Babies need a
lot of sleep. They need 12 to 16 hours of sleep. Wow! That's a lot of sleep.
大人需要睡八個小時,嬰兒要睡12到16個小時。
What about you guys?
Well, if you are 6 to 12 years old, you should get between 9 and 12 hours. If
you are a teenager, you should get from 8 to 10 hours of sleep.
6到12歲,應該要睡9到12小時。青少年應該要睡8到10個小時。
So, do you get enough sleep? If you don't, you should go to bed earlier.
I know you guys have to wake up early for school.
我當然知道你們要早起去上學。
There are many reasons why you should get enough sleep. First, it helps you
to stay healthy. Second, it helps you to think well.
充足的睡眠會讓你更健康,想事情也可以更清楚。
It's hard to think if you are tired, right?
There's also another interesting reason. People who don't get enough sleep
eat more food. That's because people who don't sleep long enough are
hungrier.
另外,睡不夠的人會吃得更多,因為他們更容易覺得餓。
So, if you sleep longer, you won't eat as much food. If you don't want to
feel so hungry all the time, you should sleep more.
Well, I think it's time for me to go. It's time for me to take a nap!
