• 4．Do you know the reason why we feel tired in the middle of a class？Maybe you would say it is because the teacher's class is boring.（1）

  Perhaps this is something you have not paid enough attention to or not yet noticed.
     Purpose of sleep
     Why do we need sleep？Sleep helps our body heal（修復(fù)）grow and stay healthy.It also gives us energy，so we can be active all day.Doctors and health scientists say：when you close your eyes and need to rest，sleep is just the very best!
     Sleep time
     Enough sleep is important to us.How much sleep do we need？New-born babies can sleep 20—22 hours a day.Teenagers need 8—10 hours of sleep a day because they need lots of energy to grow into their adult bodies.Grown-ups usually need 6—8 hours of sleep to keep active.（2）

  That is why old people sleep less than young people.
     Interesting facts
     Almost everyone has their dreams while they sleep，but not all of them can tell their dreams clearly when they wake up.Some people talk in their dreams.（3）

  This is called "sleepwalking".Are you a sleepwalker？Or is there a sleepwalker around you？
     Sleepy animals
     It's not just people that love to snooze（打盹）.（4）

  Some animals，such as bears and hedgehogs（刺猬），sleep all through winter.The swift（雨燕）is a very fast bird that can sleep while it flies!Cute koalas sleep around 18 hours a day.Giraffes don't need much sleep at all.They usually sleep standing up.
