But according to the  　2　⁠ survey， more than 90％ of Americans often use a computer or some other  　3　⁠ of electronic products in the hour before bed. 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 Researchers found that man-made light from some electronic products at night may reduce（减少） the brain chemicals that help  　4　⁠.

On the earth， our legs carry our body， but in space astronauts float， so they do not use their legs often.  　4　⁠， so they must exercise for thirty minutes every day.  　5　⁠.
