Drawing is my favorite way to relax. When I feel stressed about exams, I take out my sketchbook and draw whatever comes to my mind. It doesn’t need to be perfect—just the act of drawing makes me feel calm and happy. Sometimes I draw scenes from my favorite books, which also helps me remember the plots better.

Many middle school students in China are getting less sleep than recommended. A recent survey shows that over 60% of Grade 8 students sleep less than 8 hours a night, while experts suggest that teenagers need 8 to 10 hours of sleep for healthy growth.
What causes this? First, heavy schoolwork takes up most of their time. Many students have to stay up late to finish homework. Second, the widespread use of electronic devices is another key reason. Many students watch short videos or play games on their phones before bed, which makes it harder for them to fall asleep. Blue light from screens reduces melatonin, a chemical that helps us sleep.
To solve this problem, schools and parents are taking action. Some schools have set strict rules to ban phones in classrooms. Parents are advised to create a quiet, screen-free environment for their kids before bedtime. Experts also suggest that students do light exercise in the evening, like taking a walk, to help them relax. Avoiding caffeine after 4 p.m. is also helpful.
