閱讀理解:
After a day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Enough sleep is
necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the
activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables
your body to prepare itself for the next day.
There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one
before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more
slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body
shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to another.
Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (Although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.
If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend that you breathe very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will help you fall asleep!
