Every morning，my alarm goes off.I wake from my slumber and hit the snooze button.Then I crawl back under the duvet to grab a few more minutes of shut-eye.“Tonight I’ll go to bed early，” I tell myself.But，evening comes and I get a second wind，completely forgetting about my early night.
Why am I finding it so difficult to get a good night’s sleep？And is it a problem?
The amount we sleep has declined over the years and insomnia(失眠) is on the rise.Modern technology is often blamed.The light from our smartphone affects levels of melatonin(褪黑素)—the sleep-inducing hormone—keeping us wide awake into the early hours.
Lack of sleep can badly affect our health and memory.We need deep sleep to move our memories from short-term storage into long-term storage.If we don’t get enough sleep，we could lose these memories.This is especially disastrous for people studying for exams.
So，how can we learn to sleep better？For Professor Till Roenneberg，it’s important that people recognize they have an internal body clock.This determines whether you are a__night__owl，an early bird or somewhere in the middle.We don’t have any choice.“It’s like feet，” he said.“Some people are born with big feet and some with small feet，but most people are somewhere in the middle.”Our work schedules are out of sync(同步) with our natural sleep patterns.He says this leads to “social jetlag” where people feel like they are constantly in the wrong time zone.
Paul Kelley—a sleep expert from the University of Oxford—says that most people are getting up too early.He believes work and school should start a few hours later.Many companies are starting to realize more sleep can mean a more productive workforce and are changing work schedules.While in South Korea，office workers are heading to relaxation parlors at lunchtime to take power naps in hammocks or massage chairs.This is much healthier than catching forty winks while sitting on the toilet or dropping off at their desks.
So，if like me you find yourself hitting your snooze button every morning—don’t feel bad.It’s just our body clocks!

In our everyday lives we meet situations in which we take many things for granted. We only treasure things when they are gone. This is a sad truth of human nature. One day, I found myself as a witness to a similar situation.
One evening, I left work and boarded the train. After entering, I noticed something unusual. The center of the car had a few empty seats while both ends were crowded with people standing. I didn’t pay much attention and sat down on one of the empty seats. I sensed a funny smell. It wasn’t long before I noticed a homeless person sleeping on three seats in front of me. He was bleeding from his nose. Why wasn’t anyone helping him?
His clothes were torn and he was giving off a strange smell. Along with the smell, his eyes
were dull, watery, and red. Occasionally he scratched himself and people looked at him as if he had committed a crime. As the train stopped at stations and more people came in, they covered their noses and faced away from him. All the seats around him were empty.
Suddenly, he began to swear at the people around him. A plainclothes police officer who looked like a construction worker took out his certificate and showed it to the homeless man. The officer, not wanting to touch the homeless man, told him his rights and directed him to exit the train. As the officer walked the man out of the train, the homeless man turned around and said “MY HOME！” and started crying.
A man doesn’t value things until they are gone. If he didn’t have a home, at least he had freedom. Now he has neither. No one wants to help someone who won’t help himself.
