Question

【题目】It happens every night — bedtime. But what if you’re not sleepy? Should you still go to bed if you are just going to lie there with your eyes wide open?

There are many reasons why you are not able to fall asleep. You might be excited by something you did that day. You might be excited about what you’re going to do next day. Maybe you can’t fall asleep because you don’ t like sleeping all alone in your room. All of these reasons are normal . However, there are some steps you can take to help you fall asleep.

One thing that can help is talking to a parent or another trusted adult about what you’re thinking about at bedtime. For example, if you’re nervous about taking a test, or unhappy about being laughed at school, it can really help to tell somebody. Knowing that somebody has heard you can help ease (宽慰) your mind so that you can rest.

It also helps to sleep in a comfortable bed in a quiet and cool room. If there’s anything in your room that makes you feel afraid at night, like a picture that looks strange in the dark, be sure to ask one of your parents if it can be moved.

If you are usually sleepless around bedtime, doing certain things to relax beforehand (预先) may help you fall asleep when you go to bed. For example, take a warm bath, or listen to a story at least 30 minutes before you want to go to sleep. It also helps to go to sleep at the same time every night. As a result, your body will get the message that it’s almost time to sleep.
