Finding ways to get more and better sleep can be 'a challenge. Scientists have identified more than 80 different sleep disorders. Some sleeping disorders are genetic. But many problems are caused by staying up late and sleeping in, by traveling frequently between time zones or by working nights. Dr. James F. Jones at National Jewish Medical and Research Center in Denver says that sleep disorders are often diagnosed as other discomforts. About one third of the patients referred to with possible chronic fatigue syndrome actually sleep disorders. "Before we do anything else, we look at their sleep," Jones says.
Sleep experts say that most people would benefit from a good look at their sleep patterns. "My motto is' sleep defensively', says Mary Carskadon of Brow University. She says people need to carve out sufficient time to sleep, even if it means giving up other things. Sleep continues-like going to bed and getting up at the same time every day -- are important. Pre-bedtime activities also make a difference. As with Elsner, who used to suffer from sleeplessness, a few lifestyle. changes-- avoiding stimulants and late meals, exercising hours before bedtime, relaxing with a hot bath-- yield better sleep.
What is TRUE of human sleep?
A.Most people need less sleep when they grow older.
B.Most people need seven and a half hours of sleep every fight.
C.On average, people in the U.S. today sleep less per night than they used to.
D.For most people, less than six hours of sleep on a typical work night is enough.
But on average, Americans sleep only about seven and a half hours per night, a marked drop from the nine hours day averaged in 1910. What's worse, nearly one third of all Americans get less than six hours of sleep on a typical work night. For most people, that's not nearly enough.

W: Well, it is a question about your sleeping habits.
M: Sleeping habits?
W: Yes. Just a few questions.
M: Well, I suppose that's all right. Well. What do you want to know?

听力原文: I don't think there is anything wrong with your blood. The key to your problem is that long sleep after dinner.
If you didn't sleep for hours during the early part of the evening, you would be more ready to sleep at bedtime, If you didn't nap after dinner, you would not want to stay up so late, and you would not feel the need to take a sleeping pill. The pill is still working in your system when you get up in the morning. This helps account for the fact that you feel tired all day.
You should get out of the habit of sleeping during the evening. Right after your evening meal, engage in some sort of physical activity--a sport such as bowling, perhaps. Or get together with friends for an evening of cards and conversation. Then go to bed at your usual time or a little earlier, and you should be able to get a good night's rest without taking a pill.
If you can get into the habit of spending your evenings this way, I am sure you will feel less fired during the day. At first it may be hard for you to go to sleep without taking a pill. If so, get up and watch television or do some jobs around your house until you feel sleepy. If you fall asleep and then wake up a few hours later, get up but do not take a sleeping pill. Read a while or listen to the radio, and get yourself a few hours' sleep that night, you will feel better in the morning than you usually feel after taking a pill. The next night you will be ready to sleep at an earlier hour.
The most important thing is to avoid taking that sleep right after dinner and avoid taking pills.

W: Yeah. Isn't that great? It looks really cool, and they have live music every Saturday night. It'll be the perfect place to hang out after seeing a movie.
M: Are you serious? I think it's ridiculous! They open a new coffee house every five minutes. They are popping up all over the city. There're three coffee houses on Main Street alone.
W: I think that's wonderful--the more coffee houses, the better. I'm sick of bars and night clubs! I want a relaxing place to sit with my friends and chat. It's nice to sit back, listen to the music and slowly sip a really good cup of coffee.
M: Coffee houses are a fad. They appeal to people who have nothing better to do than sit around and drink overpriced coffee. Did you know they charge four dollars for a cup of coffee at that new place across from the theater? That's crazy! They have menus with filly different "special" blends from all over the world: Java, Ethiopia, Kenya, Brazil... It all tastes exactly the same to me.
W: Coffee houses are nut just for trendy people.
M: Yes, they are! Did you just hear what that guy over there ordered? He ordered a double, decaf cappuccino. That's so stupid. If you drink coffee, you should drink it with caffeine.
W: Wow, you are really judgmental today. Are you finished with your coffee? Can we go?
M: No, I paid over three dollars for this cup of coffee. I'm going to drink the whole thing.
