Both Francesca and Kenny say that they wake up several times during the night to text.Kenny even sleeps with his phone beside his head.Dr.Dowdell says that it's common for teens' sleep to be interrupted (打斷) by texts.Sometimes teens even send texts filled with nonsense words (胡言亂語) when they don't wake up all the way.She has been studying this,which she calls "sleep texting".
Why is sleep texting a problem? "Teenagers need 8,10 or even 11 hours of sleep to really think clearly," reports Dr.Dowdell.If they often lose sleep,she adds,teens may start having trouble in school.They may become angry or sad.
According to Dr.Dowdell,teens need to learn that they can一and should 一 turn off their phones jye.aimetimes.So we decided to have Kenny and Francesca do an experiment:
These were the rules:No phone for 48 hours.No computer or Internet either,unless it was for schoolwork.Would these two teenagers be able to do it?
"I think I'm going to feel really lonely," Kenny worried.Francesca was nervous but brave. "I'm excited about the challenge," she said.I don't know what's going to happen."
Kenny and Francesca handed their phones to their mothers for safekeeping.The challenge was on.
We caught up with Kenny and Francesca after 48 phone-free hours.Kenny sad, "Though life with no phone wasn't easy,it had good things."
Sure,Kenny missed his friends,and he was sad at times.But he also felt relaxed without the constant (不停的) texting.
Francesca had an even happier result when she put away her phone. "I loved it!" she said. "I went to the gym and hung out with friends and played basketball.I had a wonderful experience." She slept better too.

2.How to prepare for the first time at everything?The following ways may help you.
Never try to be perfect.
It's true that you can hardly manage to do something perfectly the first time you do it.So when you do something for the first time,it is time to just have a try and never think about the result.Also,being perfect is just another excuse to do things later,so trying to be perfect is just a waste of time.
Forget what others think.
In order to make you feel less stressed about your first time,just forget what others are thinking of you.First,many people don't really care that much if you happen to fail at something.Second,remember that others have also started from "zero"as well.Third,focus on your own performance,not on others. .
The time you spend doesn't matter.
One common characteristic of doing something for the first time is that more time is spent.Just be slow and try to learn as much as possible.You will realize that the second time is much easier,since you already have some experience in your pocket.
Plan and prepare.
If possible,try to plan and prepare as much as possible before doing something new.You will gain more self-confidence in this way,and by planning and preparing,you actually may control things well.
Prepare for the second time.
Once you have gone through your "first time experience",you'll have broken the biggest barrier of all.The excitement and fear is most likely gone and the next time won't be that scary anymore.So you just get ready for the second time.
