Are you tired？Do you often catch colds and flu？If so，you might consider changing your sleep habits.Good health demands good sleep.Studies have shown that most people need eight hours of sleep each night.Americans，however, on average, get only seven hours.One­third of us get just six hours，and good health is not simply a matter of how much sleep you get，but also the type of sleep you get.

Non­rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep allows your body to grow and repair itself.During NREM sleep，your muscles relax.Your heart rate and breathing rate decrease.Your eyes roll slowly back and forths then they stop moving.Most of the sleeping you do is NREM sleep.

Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep restores your brain.During REM sleep，you dream.You may not remember every dream，but every time you sleep，you dream.Your eyes move back and forth quickly.Your breathing rate and heartbeat increase.Your muscles become paralysed (麻痹的)．About 25 percent of your sleep is REM sleep.You need enough of both kinds of sleep to be healthy.

Is it a real concern if you don’t get enough good sleep？It certainly is.Poor sleep puts you and others at risk.More than 100,000 car accidents are caused each year by drivers who nod off (打盹)．Almost $100 billion is lost yearly in the business and environmental field.People deprived_of sleep have been factors in the Challenger space tragedy，the Exxon Valdez oil spill (溢出)，and the Chernobyl nuclear reactor accident.So do yourself and everyone around you a favour.Don’t cheat yourself out of good sleep!
