How much sleep do we need? We are all different. Some people need only three hours of sleep a night. Others need ten hours of sleep a night. Most Americans sleep an average (平均) of seven to eight hours a night. After the age of fifty, the average sleeping time goes down to 6.5 hours a night.
Most people have a bad night when they can’t fall asleep (入睡). The name of this problem is called insomnia.
This isn’t a new problem. Many famous people in history had insomnia, too. Some of these people had special ideas to make them sleep. Benjamin Franklin, the famous inventor, had four beds. He moved(移动) from one to another to fall asleep. King Louis XI V (国王路易十四) of France had four hundred and thirteen beds and hoped to fall asleep in one of them. Mark Twain, the famous American writer, had a different way. He lay on his side across the end of his bed.

“One day, I was surprised to find that I weighed about 200 pounds,” Rocha says. “I thought I had to do something.”
Rocha is from a boxing (拳击) family—his father and two older brothers are professional boxers. So he decided to start boxing. He began with simple exercises, like sit-ups and push-ups (俯卧撑). Then Rocha started jogging(慢跑). “No kid likes running,” he says. “I don’t want to do it, either, but I have no choice but to keep on.”
Months later, Rocha joined a boxing club in his city. He is always the first kid at the club to begin exercising, and the last to leave with sweat (汗水) on his face. Every day he boxes for about three hours.

When Steven was a young boy, he moved quite often with his family and so he never had many friends. He spent a lot of time on his own and liked to play with electronic(电子的)things.
