Do you find it difficult to get out of bed in the morning? If you're too tired after a hard day's work, then a good night's sleep can help you feel refreshed(精力恢复的) and ready for the day ahead.

Everyone needs sleep. The number of hours is different for everybody, but experts say that younger children need 10 or 11 hours of sleep a night and teenagers around nine hours. A good night's sleep isn't just about how long you spend in bed—although that is important. It also means sleeping well so that you can have plenty of brain power(脑力) and energy(能量) for the rest of the day.
Sleep helps the body grow and can even protect you from illness. Scientists say this is because while you sleep, your brain is busy building new connections and your body is repairing itself. If you don't get enough sleep, your brain hasn't had enough time to rest and you might feel stressed or tired. Expert Jason Ellis says that even though we're still and quiet when we sleep, we use more energy at night than we do in the day."That's to help us keep our mind, body and feelings healthy," he explains.
Preparing properly for bedtime is important, and this helps you calm down and stay asleep. A good way to tire yourself out is to get plenty of exercise during the day, such as walking to and from workplace if you can, or doing sports. Take an hour or two to get relaxed before bed. Don't drink tea or coffee. Turn off phones, computers and video games. Try reading a book instead.
