Most of us would say that the older we get, the less we look forward to celebrating another birthday. For children, though, a birthday is that one occasion each year when they are the center of attention all day long.

         It’s not surprising, then, that children’s birthday parties have turned into big business in America. Kids—or more likely their parents—often try to outdo one another in putting on the most extravagant birthday party. In the past, you might have hired a man with a horse to come by and give everyone horse rides. Today, you can hire an entire petting zoo’s or a truck filled with animals from abroad.

Barb Hill, a mother of two girls, doesn’t hold extravagant (奢侈的) parties, but she says she does feel pressure to come up with new ideas each year. Her daughter Fiona celebrated her most recent birthday, her eighth, at a sporting-goods store. The kids enjoyed the climbing wall, as well as the pizza and cupcakes. “They always want to do something that nobody else has done yet,” Barb says. You also have to decide how many guests to invite, and if you’re celebrating at a place other than home, that means figuring out how to transport everyone.
William Doherty, a professor at the University of Minnesota, recently started a project called Birthdays without Pressure. Its website (www. birthdayswithoutpressure.org) gives parents the resources to make kids’ birthday parties less stressful and more fun for all. “Our goal was to start a local and national conversation about what’s happened to birthday parties,” Doherty told me. “We’ve succeeded beyond our expectations—tens of thousands of parents are viewing our website, contacting us and taking our online quizzes.”
In the end, most parents would agree that the best parties are usually the ones where the kids have time to hang out and play with each other. After all, isn’t what being a kid is all about?

Lack of sleep can make you fat, while getting enough of it may prevent obesity (肥胖症). Many researches from Columbia University in New York found that you can lose more weight while you are sleeping, if you get enough sleep. A study of more than 6,000 people showed that adequate sleep at night protected them against obesity. On the other hand, lack of sleep promoted obesity. Obesity rates were 73 percent higher in people who slept only two to four hours per night compared to normal sleepers and 23 percent greater in people who got only six hours of sleep.

Inadequate sleep activates the appetite control center in the hypothalamus (in the lower part of the brain) and influences hormones that make you hungrier. Sleeping deprivation (剥夺)decreases physical and mental performance and puts the brakes on your training program. The National Sleep Foundation recommends establishing regular sleep patterns to help you get the rest you need. Avoid common causes of insomnia, such as drinking coffee before bedtime, worrying about money or relationships late at night, or watching disturbing TV shows in the evening.

Taking a short 20-minute nap (小睡) or exercising late in the afternoon will help you sleep at night. Establish healthy sleep patterns by going to bed at the same time each night and don’t turn on any light bulb in your bedroom while you are sleeping. Get exposed to light in the morning. The above tips will help you establish (建立) normal sleep-wakeful cycles. See a sleep specialist if you suffer from insomnia or sleep apnea (temporary absence of breathing during sleep).
