    Early rising is helpful in more than one way. First, it {#blank#}1{#/blank#} us to have good health. We all need fresh air. It makes our health better to take morning exercise. But air is never so fresh as early in the morning. Early rising helps us in our studies. In the morning we learn {#blank#}2{#/blank#} and find it easy to learn something {#blank#}3{#/blank#} heart. Early rising makes people able to plan the work for the day. We can not work well without a good plan. Just as, "The plan for a year should be made in spring, the plan for a day should be made in the morning." So the popular {#blank#}4{#/blank#} says, "Early to bed and early to rise makes man {#blank#}5{#/blank#}, wealthy and wise."

    It happens every night-bedtime. But what if you're not sleepy? Should you still go to bed if you are just going to lie there with your eyes wide open?

    It's a{#blank#}1{#/blank#} that has been around as long as there have been people trying to sleep.

    For many, thinking about{#blank#}2{#/blank#}only keeps them awake. You might be excited by everything you did that day. Maybe you can't sleep because you don't like sleeping all alone in your room. Maybe you have a frightening dream that keeps coming back every time you close your eyes.

    All of these feelings are{#blank#}3{#/blank#}.One thing that can help is talking to a parent about what you're thinking about. If you're {#blank#}4{#/blank#}about taking a test, or upset about being laughed at in school, it can really help to tell somebody .Knowing that somebody has heard you can help your thoughts rest so that you can too.
