The Importance of sleep

Why do we need to sleep ? Sleep is very important for the brain. While we are sleep, the brain repairs itself. It also stores imformation that it leaned during the day. If we do not get enough sleep, the brain cannot do these things. We become tired and we cannot remember things so well. Our body’s immune system , which is its self-defense system become weaker ,so we are more likely to get ill.

What stops us sleeping? Most people find sleep difficult because they are not relaxed. They do not exercise enough during the day, and in the evening they are still thinking about their work or studies. In addition,they make phone calls or look at email message until late at night. They also have too many drinks which contain caffeine, such as coffee, and eat dinner just before they go to bed. All of this is bad for sleeping.

What can we do? Of course,it is importnt to be relaxed. However, there are other things we can do to help us get agood night’s sleep. First of all, we should make sure that the bed is comfortable ,with a good matters and pillows. The bedroom should be dark and quite, so that we are not disturb by lighyt and noise. We should also have the same routine every evening before we go to bed. For example, we should read a book, have a hot bath or listen to relaxing music. Finally we should try to go to bed at the same time every night. In this way, we will start to sleep better and feel more active the next day.
