Read the following passage carefully and then answer the questions below:

When the task is to get a good night's sleep, trying hard is not the way to succeed. Twisting and

turning in search of a comfortable position in bed makes your body do the opposite of what it is

supposed to do at night. Instead of slowing down, your heartbeat races. Instead of relaxing,

your muscles twitch. You watch the clock and wonder what you are doing wrong.

Ten million people in the United States alone are seeking medical help for chronic insomnia –

difficulty on falling asleep. For years it has been called a symptom of a number of psychological

problems, such as depression, that somehow alters the body's sleep pattern. Sleep specialists

agree that psychological problems are a cause of insomnia, but also say bad habits can have the

same effect. These include too little daytime activity and, ironically, its opposite, too much

exercise.

"Insomniacs usually begin losing sleep over some problem, such as a serious illness in the

family," says psychiatrist Robert Watson. "But unlike other people," he adds, "they continue to

have trouble sleeping – for months, even years." According to Joyce and Kales, insomniacs

present a consistent personality profile. They take things hard, feel they haven't lived "the right

kind of life," and a nervous and tense. Psychiatrists say insomniacs share another trait: they

spend an excessive amount of time thinking about sleep. Contrary to the image of bad sleepers

as workaholics, a study indicates that insomniacs spend more time relaxing than others do. It is

thought their relative inactivity during the day may alter the body's "clock". Instead of signaling

the brain to slow down at night, the clock calls for more activity.

Sleeping late on weekends can also disrupt your body's clock. This is a bad habit Robert

Watson makes patients change at the Sleep Disorders Centre. He tells them to rise at the same

time each day, even after a night of poor sleep. What is the best thing to do on occasional

sleepless nights? Forget sleeping pills. They can actually cause insomnia after three days, by

alerting the brain's chemistry. Watson recommends drinking milk or eating cheese or tuna,

because they are rich in natural sleep-producing aids.

A. From a, b, c and d choose the correct answer:

1- The best title for the passage above can be……………………………………………….

a- Sleeping pills b-Good sleeping habits

c- Bad Sleeping habits d- Insomnia (Sleeplessness)

c- don't contain sleep producing aids d- Both (a) and (b)

5- According to Robert Watson, is a bad habit of insomniacs…………………………

c- Sleeping longer than usual on weekends d- getting up late at the same time every morning
