Sleep is very important. A person who does not sleep dies faster than a person who does not eat. We spend about a third (1/3) of our lives sleeping. That's about 121 days a year! How much sleep do we need? We are all different. A baby needs 16 hours of sleep every day. Children 6 to 12 years old need an average of 10 to 12 hours of sleep. Teenagers need 9 to 10 hours of sleep. An adult needs an average of 7 to 8 hours a night. There are some people who need only 3 hours of sleep. Others need 10 hours of sleep. After the age of 50, the average sleep time goes down to 6.5 hours a night. We need less sleep as we get older. About one in three Americans has a problem with sleep. Many of these people can't fall asleep. The name of this problem is _ . Some people say, "I didn't sleep all night." But that's not really true. They may sleep lightly and wake up several times. In the morning, they only remember the times they were awake , so they think they were awake all night. This is not a new problem. Many famous people in history had insomnia. Some of these people had special ideas to make them sleep. Benjamin Franklin had four beds. He moved from one to another to fall asleep. Mark Twain had a different way. He lay on his side across the end of the bed!

Svara på frågorna i slutet baserat på texten. Sömn är mycket viktigt. En person som inte sover dör snabbare än en person som inte äter. Vi tillbringar ungefär en tredjedel (1/3) av våra liv med att sova. Det är ungefär 121 dagar om året! Hur mycket sömn behöver vi? Vi är alla olika. Ett barn behöver 16 timmars sömn varje dag. Barn mellan 6 och 12 år behöver i genomsnitt 10 till 12 timmars sömn. Tonåringar behöver nio till tio timmars sömn. En vuxen behöver i genomsnitt 7 till 8 timmar per natt. Vissa människor behöver bara 3 timmars sömn. Andra behöver 10 timmars sömn. Efter 50 års ålder går den genomsnittliga sömntiden ner till 6,5 timmar per natt. Vi behöver mindre sömn när vi blir äldre. Ungefär en av tre amerikaner har problem med sömnen. Många av dem kan inte somna. Namnet på detta problem är _ . En del säger: "Jag har inte sovit på hela natten." Men det är inte riktigt sant. De kan sova lätt och vakna flera gånger. På morgonen minns de bara de gånger de var vakna, så de tror att de var vakna hela natten. Detta är inget nytt problem. Många kända personer i historien hade sömnlöshet. Några av dessa människor hade speciella idéer för att få dem att sova. Benjamin Franklin hade fyra sängar. Han flyttade från den ena till den andra för att somna. Mark Twain hade ett annat sätt. Han låg på sin sida tvärs över sängkanten! 1. Hur mycket tid tillbringar vi med att sova ett år? 2.
