Sleeping is important in our life. There are some myths (荒诞说法) about sleeping in our everyday life. Do you believe the myths? Here are some of the myths.

1. Counting sheep helps you sleep.

The University of Oxford once tested this myth. They asked 50 volunteers to try three different ways to fall asleep. Some counted sheep, some imagined a relaxing scene and some just did as usual.Guess what? Those volunteers who counted sheep took longer than usual to fall asleep.

2. Your brain rests during sleep.

Your body may rest during sleep, but your brain does not rest. It stays very active during sleep. It still does some important things, such as controlling your breathing and body temperature. How busy your brain is!

3. You should never wake a sleepwalker (梦游者).

Many people have heard that waking a sleepwalker might kill them. Is that true? No! Waking a sleepwalker may make them confused (困惑的). Sleepwalking might be dangerous. The safest way is to gently guide them back to their beds.

4. Cheese gives you nightmares (噩梦).

The British Cheese Board had a study on this myth. They asked 200 volunteers to eat 20g of cheese every night for a week. Then they recorded the volunteers' dreams. 75% of the men and 85% of the women who ate cheese had vivid dreams, but none of them had nightmares.
