I think it might be C., the elderly, because my grandfather falls asleep all the time. In fact, sometimes he even falls asleep at the dinner table!

Sam
I don’t know. Teenagers can stay in bed for days!

News
The recommendation from the World Health Organisation is that adults should sleep 8 hours a night, but why? The answer lies in the results of recent studies, which show that there is a direct connection between how long we sleep and how long we live. Matthew Walker, from the Centre for Human Sleep Science at the University of California, Berkeley, says the less you sleep, the more at risk we are from heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s and more, confirming that short sleep predicts a shorter life.

Tom
Do you know, I never get 8 hours of sleep a night… I’m busy, I have other things to do apart from go to sleep.

Sam
Tom, the news story says that’s not good for you! If you’re sleep-deprived, you could have health problems.

Kee
Sleep-deprived λŠ” 잠이 λΆ€μ‘±ν•œ μ΄λΌλŠ” λœ»μΈλ°μš”. Yes, they mentioned “heart disease” 심μž₯병 , “diabetes” 당뇨, and “Alzheimer’s” 치맀. Those are all serious!

Tom
But isn’t everybody sleep-deprived these days? I mean, who really gets 8 hours of sleep a night? I know I don’t, for sure!

Sam
I do! I always make sure I get at least 7.5 hours a night.

Tom
How? You’re a really early riser!

Kee
'Early riser' λŠ” 일찍 μΌμ–΄λ‚˜λŠ” μ‚¬λžŒμ„ λœ»ν•˜λŠ”λ°μš”. Yeah, Sam, you’re always at work so early.

Sam
I’ve always been an early riser, so I just make sure I go to bed early. And I never use my phone, or computer, or drink any coffee before I go to bed.

Tom
Mmh, that might be my problem. I always have a coffee after my dinner...and then I can’t sleep...and then I’m exhausted the next day.

Kee
“Exhausted” λŠ” ν”Όκ³€ν•˜λ‹€ λΌλŠ” λœ»μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. Coffee is not a good idea, Tom.

Sam
Yeah, you always look exhausted in the morning.

Tom
Thanks! That’s why I always need a coffee.

Sam
How many hours of sleep do you get, Tom?

Tom
Probably about 6 hours of sleep a night. How about you?

Kee

Sam
So, how can we make sure you get more sleep, Tom?

Tom
Well, you don’t need to worry about me, because I always have a lie-in at the weekend.

Kee

Sam
Yeah, I don’t think you can pay back the sleep you missed by having a lie-in.

Kee
And you need to stop drinking coffee...

Tom
Ok, you two, have you finished? I’m exhausted just listening to you now! In fact, I think I need a coffee.

Kee
