Can you get enough sleep? With so much homework it's often difficult for you to get enough sleep. However, you should know that enough sleep keeps you healthy and stops you from getting fat.
A group of American scientists do a study among the local (当地的) kids aged between 8 and 13. The study finds that if kids sleep for an extra hour each day, the chance of getting fat will be reduced (减少) by about 30%. Why? Because if kids don't get enough sleep, they will be tired. When they are tired, they don't exercise enough. Besides, kids like snacks. If they are awake for an extra hour each day, they will have more time to eat snacks or other unhealthy foods.
How much sleep should kids get? Scientists suggest that kids aged between 5 and12 should sleep for ten to eleven hours a night. For older kids, eight to nine hours will do.
