10 hours of sleep for students
(Yawns, and stretching sounds — as if the person just woke up)
Narrator: 太棒了! I got ten hours of sleep 睡了十個小時 好舒服 … I’m going
to get a really high score on my test!
Trust me, it’s true! Sleeping more helps you in school. Scientists say
elementary school kids need 10 hours of sleep every night.
小孩每晚要睡十個小時!
Adults only need 7 or 8 hours of sleep … but kids need to sleep more to
learn and remember new things at school.
If you learned something, and you just can’t remember it … maybe you need
more sleep!
If you want to get a high score on your tests, you need to do three things:
Number one: Go to bed at the same time 每天晚上同一個時間要睡覺 … If you go
to sleep at 8 o’clock one night and 10 o’clock the next night … your body
gets confused … Your brain says, “Hey! Should I feel tired now?” Or maybe
it’s saying, “Ahhhh! I’m tired, help!”
Number two: Don’t play with your cell phone or watch TV at night!
晚上玩手機或看電視都是不好喔! The bright light of the TV or your phone tells
your body to wake up. And that’s not good before bedtime.
Number three: Exercise! Did you know sitting all day is bad for your brain,
bad for your heart, bad for your … well … it’s bad for your whole body!
Also, exercising every day helps you sleep! 運動可以幫我們好好的入睡!
And not just on days before a test. If you want high scores, you need to have
good sleep habits every day!
So remember the magic number: 10! You need ten hours of sleep!
