There are many ways to help improve your health like eating healthy food. Taking exercise and getting medical help. But the easiest and cheapest way to improve your health is just to sleep eight hours or more every night. The general sleeping rule is that the younger you are, the longer sleep you need. But regardless of(不管)age, some people need to sleep more while for some a few hours is enough.

The problem with sleep is that more and more people in the world are not sleeping enough. According to the World Health Organization over half the people in the world may be sleep-deprived. Having less sleep not only makes people feel tired but also causes accidents. In the United States alone, sleepy drivers cause at least 100,000 traffic accidents a year. Also sleep problems can cause medical problems such as high blood pressure(血压).

Why are so many people sleep-deprived? Part of the reasons may be cultural. In the American culture, people put a higher value on work than on sleep. In fact, peopele who sleep a lot are usuallv seen as “lazy”. Also, you can sometimes hear some people say proudly that they don’t have much time to sleep. they only sleep four or five hours a night. It seems that the less you sleep, the more work you’ll do.

How do we teach these people to learn the value of sleep? Perhaps they may listen to the advice of Dr. James Maas an expert (专家) in sleep. He says , “Sleep is like a credit (信用卡) card. When you sleep less. you are only borrowing time. You always have to pay it back. The morehours you don’t sleep, the more hours you should t sleep to ‘pay back’ the hours on your ‘sleepcredit card.’”

For those who value work more than sleep, they should listen to what a famous person once said. “Don’t think you will be doing less work because you sleep during the night. That is a foolish(愚蠢的) idea which is held by people who have no imagination. You will be able to do more.”

It can be difficult to remember things in the long term, because memories may get lost over time. But you can change the way you learn new information in order to successfully remember it in the long term.

Focus on (专注于)new information. It’ll be easier to remember something in the future if you give it all of your attention while you’re trying to learn it. Don’t try to do several tasks at the same time. While you are learning, turn off the TV and put your phone somewhere you can’t see it. It helps new information move from your short-term to your long-term memory. And you may need to ask your roommate or family to give you some quiet time.

Take a break after learning something new. Just sit quietly for a few minutes. Avoid trying to get other things done during this time, as it will interfere with ( 干扰 ) the process of building the new memories you’ve just formed.

Review information right before bed. Studies suggest that your brain uses sleeping hours to review and choose what you will be able to recall in the long term. For this reason, you can improve your long-term memory by going over information that you want to remember right before you go to sleep.

Organize information into related groups. For example, if you’re trying to remember a shopping list, group the things into categories (种类) like “vegetables” and “fruits”. Then try to memorize each category separately.
