Q1: On average, how many hours a night do you sleep? Sara: I’d say I get about six hours a night. Q1.2: And is that enough for you? Sara: No, I don’t think so. Q2: Do you ever sleep during the daytime? Sara: Yes, I often have little naps in my room. Sometimes I sleep on the train home from university. Q3: I see. In what situations do you think it’s OK to sleep during the day? Sara: Well, on the train is Yine. Most people do it. And I guess in a big class, say with more than 50 people in it, it’s ok to have a short nap if you’re really tired. Q4: What kinds of things prevent you from getting a good night’s sleep? Sara: I study until quite late, and that sometimes stops me getting enough rest. My room is near a busy road, so trafYic noise also keeps me awake. And then once I’m up I start looking at my smartphone, and that makes it hard for me to fall back to sleep. Q5: Yeah. I’m like that too. Do you think it’s important to manage your sleep? Sara: Yes, of course. But I have an entrance exam for grad school coming up, so I have too much study to get much sleep! Q5.1: That’s tough. Hang in there!
