Do you play with your phone before bedtime? According to a US study, looking at screens at night can cause us to sleep not well.
In the evening, our brains make melatonin. Melatonin helps us feel sleepy and relaxed. It’s an important part of our sleep cycle. Our electronic screens stop that cycle from working normally.
Why? Phones, computers and TVs make blue light. Blue light stops our bodies from making melatonin. Even just a little bit of blue light can have an effect. Eight minutes of blue light can keep your brain “awake” for another hour, according to the study. Even when you are sleeping, you may have lots of dreams. Your brain won’t have a good rest.
It’s even worse if you play an exciting game before bed. Games make our hearts beat faster, so we have a harder time falling asleep. Then, when we are sleeping, we don’t get enough “deep sleep”.
Will you play with your phone before sleep now?

Do you often carry maps when you travel to other countries? Maps can show you the right ways. But if you don’t bring maps with you, what should you do? I’m afraid that you need to ask the way. Here are some tips(建议) for you, because there are different ways to give ways in the world.
In Japan, most streets don’t have their street names. The Japanese use landmarks(路标) to give ways. So when you ask, “Excuse me, could you tell me how to get to the nearest post office?” They often say, “Go along the road, turn left on the second street and go past a supermarket. The post office is opposite the hospital.”
In the countryside of the American midwest. The land is very flat(平坦的). So if you have the same question, people will say to you, “Go east 3 kilometers, turn north and then walk another kilometer.” But in Los Angeles and California, people measure distance(测量距离) by time, not meters. So when you ask, “How far is the nearest post office?”, they will tell you, “It’s about 10 minutes’ walk from here”.
People in Greece often use body language to help you. They will use their hands to show the right or left ways, or they will simply say, “follow me.” Because they can’t speak English and the tourists couldn’t understand the language there.
