“If you consider getting older with needing less sleep, it’s not true!” says Robert Oexman, D．C．, director of the Sleep to Live Institute．Besides disease, medicine and pain, if parents complain of bad sleep, Dr．Oexman looks at their nighttime habits, where the problem almost always exists．So, how are you destroying your sleep?
Watch TV until you fall asleep
It has nothing to do with what you watch．It’s you who face TV’s bright light．That’s the reason．So even if you nod off in front of the TV, for example, you probably won’t stay asleep for long．
So an hour before bedtime, treat yourself like a baby: a warm bath．But no reading or writing on your computer before bed or in the middle of the night．
Exercise too close to bedtime
Remember how poorly you sleep when you have a fever, never really feeling rested? Well, heavy exercise too close to bedtime has the same effect--it raises your body temperature, so when you lay your sleepy head on the pillow, your body temperature is normal．
Eat fatty, heavy foods too close to bedtime
If you’ve ever tried to go to sleep after eating a fatty meal, you’ve probably found the discomfort of stomach acids（胃酸）less than good for falling asleep or staying asleep．
So try to eat your last meal of the day at least 2-3 hours before bedtime．Should you feel hungry before bed? So have a bowl of cereal or a small boiled potato．Or maybe have a serving of jasmine rice．

Life comes in a package．This package includes happiness and sadness, failure and success, hope and despair．Life is a learning process．Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person．With each passing day we learn to deal with various situations．
Love plays a main role in our life．Love makes you feel wanted．Without love a person could become cruel．In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us with love and care．They teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad．But we don’t always care about it．It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands others’ feelings．
Happiness can bring people a peaceful mind．No mind is happy without peace．Sadness is the cause of the death of a loved one or the failure．But all of these things will pass away．
Failure is the path to success．It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way．Success brings in money, pride and self-respect．
Hope is what keeps life going．Parents always hope their children will do well．Hope makes us dream．Hope builds in patience．Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day．
Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is out of our control．Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dark．So the only choice is to work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow．

Do you have a headache? Take an aspirin or eat bird brains．Do you want beautiful skin? Use skin cream or eat pearls．Is your hair turning gray? Color your hair or eat black rice．
“Eat bird brains, pearls, and black rice?” some people ask．“How strange!” But for many Chinese people, bird brains, pearls, and black rice are not strange things to eat．Instead, they are good medicines．
Food that people use for medicines is called medical（药用的） food．The Chinese have eaten medicinal food and spices（香辛料） for centuries．Ginger, for example, is a common spice in Chinese cooking．Ginger gives food a nice flavor．The Chinese began to use ginger many years ago．They used ginger not because it tasted good．They used ginger because it was medicinal．Ginger, they thought, was good for the digestion．It also helped people who had colds．Pepper and garlic, too, were probably medicines a long time ago．
Some people don’t believe that food and spices are good medicines．They want to buy their medicine in drugstores, not in supermarkets．Other people want to try medicinal food．They say, “Maybe medicinal food can’t help me．But it can’t hurt me, either．”
People can try medicinal food at a Chinese restaurant in San Francisco, California．The restaurant serves medicinal food．The menus at the restaurant have a list of dinners．Next to each dinner there is information about the food．The information helps people order “Queen’s Secret,” for example, is one dinner at the restaurant．This dinner has meat from chickens with black feathers．It is for women who want to look young．
