Passage A

There are many ways to keep healthy, like eating healthy food, doing exercise and getting medical help. But the easiest and cheapest way is just to sleep eight hours or more every night.

Generally, the younger you are, the more sleep you need. But no matter how old you are, some people need more sleep while a few hours are enough for others.

The big problem is that more and more people around the world are not getting enough sleep. The World Health Organization says over half of the world’s people may have this problem. Not sleeping enough not only makes you feel tired, but also causes accidents. For example, in the US alone, sleepy drivers cause at least 100,000 traffic accidents every year. It can also lead to health issues like high blood pressure.

Why don’t people get enough sleep? Part of the reason is culture. In America, people often think work is more important than sleep. Those who sleep a lot are sometimes called “lazy”. Some even say proudly they only sleep four or five hours a night, thinking less sleep means more work.

How to make them know sleep’s value? They can listen to Dr. James Maas, a sleep expert. He says, “Sleep is like a credit card. When you sleep less, you’re borrowing time. You have to pay it back — the more you miss, the more you need to sleep later.”

A famous person also said, “Don’t think sleeping at night means less work. That’s a silly idea. You’ll actually be able to do more work if you sleep well.”
