I'm Jame, from America. I can't sleep well and I always wake up several times during the night. I know for a fact that there are many other people who have trouble going sleep, too. So, I've collected some advice. I've received over the past few months that have not only helped me get to sleep faster, but helped me get better night sleeps.

Have regular sleep habits

Go to bed at the same time every night. Try not to break this habit on weekends when you may be made to stay up late. Wake up at the same time every day. If you are getting enough sleep, you should wake up naturally without an alarm.

Turn off your computer

Don't play on the computer for half an hour before you decided to sleep. Studies show that it is bad for the quality of your sleep. Read a book or listen to some light music to prepare your body for sleeping.

Have a nice bedroom

A clean environment helps people to be happy and relaxed. Make sure that you have turned off all lights that might come into your room, and that the temperature is comfortable.

Exercise often

Exercising will help you to fall asleep more easily, so walk out for 45 minutes every day and you will sleep better at night. But don't do it just before you go to bed.

Eat properly

Eat only a little for supper. A full stomach may make it much harder for you to sleep.

What is life's greatest gift? It is choice. Choice is the ability to choose some actions from a set of things to achieve a goal.【1】 The reason is that it turns us from dumb animals into artists. Choice becomes the tool we use to sculpt(雕刻) our life. The tool doesn't come free, however, for the price of choice is responsibility. 【2】 It is enjoyment.

Choice is power. Choice is at the heart of life. It's the creative power of life. Life is always changing and we have to make lots of choices. 【3】 We often need to check where we are on our journey. We need to ask questions: Am I moving closer to my goals? If not, what action will I take now to make myself realize my goals?

【4】 And our life becomes more convenient or comfortable because of them. For example, you decide which stores to shop at and which bus station to go to.But the decisions that we make to sculpt our lives are much more important than deciding where to shop. The more we understand the difference between small and big decisions, the more pleasure we will get.

Life is like a chess game.【5】 All chess lovers realize that it isn't necessary to win to enjoy the game. Make the best moves you can under the conditions. Then you can enjoy your life.

A．Why is choice so great?

B．The pleasure is in the playing.

C．In fact, we have to make choices every day.

D．But when we accept and carry it out, we get a great return.

E．Because making right choices is more important than working hard.

F．Every choice we make leads us closer to or farther from our goals.

Do you like traveling? Here is some advice.

Always wear your most comfortable clothes when going on long journeys.

Traveling on trains or buses can be boring, so take a good book to read.

If you are going somewhere sunny, remember to wear sunblock(防晒霜) and sunglasses.

Always take a camera with you to capture(捕获) those special moments.

Be careful with your things whenever you go to a busy place, like a train station. There are often thieves there!

Most countries have lower prices for students, so if you have one, take your student card with you and save money.
