Did you sleep the day away on March 21? Well, you should have done because it was World Sleeping Day. This is the day of the year when people around the world care about their sleep and ask themselves a lot of questions about sleep.

Why do we need sleep? Nobody yet can give a perfect answer to this question. However, tests have shown that lack(缺少) of sleep over about four weeks leads to a strong drop in body temperature, great weight loss and finally, sickness.

Different people need different amounts of sleep. Eight hours a night is considered the average(平均的) amount of sleep. For teenagers, the least number of sleeping hours advised by doctors are, ten hours for primary school students, nine for junior highs and eight for senior highs. Some people seem to get along just fine with very little sleep at night, but some people need more sleep.

Here are some of the most useful suggestions for good night’s sleep:

*Go to bed regularly.

*Use your bed only to sleep.

*Don’t exercise in the evening.

*Keep the bedroom dark and quiet.

*Drink a glass of milk before sleep.

*Stop looking at the watch while you can’t sleep!

When I was told to play for a drama competition, I became nervous. I had never done anything like this before. But after reading Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, I was excited about what was to come. The story was great and the sentences were so funny. I wanted to give it a go.

I was playing Sir Toby Belch, a very funny old knight(骑士). I had to remember a lot of sentences and very funny old words. I worked hard in order to act well, like a real knight from the old days. But the most different job was to be funny in all my acting. This is quite different from the way I am in real life.

“OK. It’s time to be a different me now!” I said to myself. At first, I couldn’t do anything naturally. I didn’t know what to do when acting in this silly way. But I always told myself that I was Sir Toby now and I should forget who I really was. Even when I was in the bath, I was thinking about Sir Toby’s words and actions and trying to do everything like Sir Toby did.

The competition day finally came. When it was my turn to perform, I took a deep breath and began my part. I tried hard to make my words clear enough to be understood and my actions funny enough to make everybody laugh. When the results were finally read out, I immediately knew we had won first prize. I made it.

From this experience, I’ve come to know that I can be a different person. It’s doesn’t mean I’ve changed my personality, but I can do something I had never imagined possible.
