【推荐1】A study finds couch potatoes more likely to suffer insomnia(失眠症). The COVID-19 has made couch potatoes sleep worse than regular exercisers. Experts said the they need more exercise to improve their health condition.
Couch potatoes refer to the ones who always lie in the couch with little exercise. More than 38 percent of Chinese adults suffer from insomnia because of less exercise and more than 80 percent of children and teenagers do not get enough sleep on school days.
“The key to returning to normal lives is going outdoors more often and working out more regularly,” said Guo Xiheng, head of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital’s sleep research center and a member of the research society.
The study also found that exercising for at least half an hour daily, doing more full-body exercise such as swimming and boxing, and working out more in the morning are some of the important methods of high-quality sleep at night. Those who exercise for more than an hour a day also find it easier to pull themselves out of bed every morning after waking up, the study said. People who prefer ball sports have longer periods of deep sleep, it said. According to Han Fang of Peking University People’s Hospital, not having enough sleep for a long time increases the risk of death by 26 percent. “Good sleep at night is also closely linked to stronger immunity (免疫力) against disease. Recent research suggests individuals make sure they get enough sleep the night before receiving a COVID-19 vaccine (疫苗)” he said.

【推荐2】The Australian government researchers did research on the eyesight and habits of 100 seven-year-old children in Singapore and Australia. The research shows that sunlight is good for people’s eyes. If you spend two or three hours playing outdoors each day, it is not easy for you to become short-sighted.
Both groups spent a similar amount of time reading, watching TV and playing computer games. However, the Australian children spent an average（平均）of two hours a day outdoors—90 minutes more than the Singaporean children. As a result, 30% of the Singaporean children were short-sighted—this rate（比率）was ten times higher than Australian children.
Dr. Ian Morgan said, “Humans are naturally long-sighted, but when people begin to go to school and spend little or no time outdoors, the number of short-sighted people gets larger. We’re also seeing more and more short-sighted children in cities all around the world—and the main reason may be that city children spend less time outdoors.”
Daylight can be hundreds of times brighter than indoor light. But why does playing outside stop us from becoming short-sighted? Scientists believe that natural light has a special chemical（化学物质）. It can stop the eyeball from growing out of shape and stop people becoming short-sighted.
So be outdoors. It doesn’t matter if that time is spent having a picnic or playing sports.
