Practice:
1. Read the text (Ex.2, p. 30 by
Oksana Karpiuk's textbook).
Every person goes through five stages
of sleep. To feel good we need to go through each stage every night.
During stages 1 and 2 you sleep lightly.
It is easy for someone or something to wake you. During stages 3 and 4 you
sleep deeply. It is not easy for anyone to wake you. You hear no sounds and see
no lights.
Then comes the last stage of sleep.
It is called REM (rapid eye movement). This is the stage in which you dream.
You breathe more quickly than in the previous stages. Your eyes move rapidly
under your eyelids and you dream.
There are all kinds of dreams: good
ones, bad ones and nightmares. You need your dreams. You dream more if you have
a special problem. Dreams help you solve your problem and give you answers to
some questions. Actually, you dream four to six times during the REM stage. Very
often you don’t remember what you have dreamt about.
If you have problems falling asleep,
you should think about the following:
a Chocolate, tea and Coca-Cola have
caffeine and they keep awake. Try not to have them in the evening.
b Too much food makes it difficult
for your body to relax. Think about how much you eat before you go to sleep.
c Exercise wakes you up. Don’t
exercise before bedtime.
d Your bed should be used for sleeping
only. Eating, studying or watching TV shouldn’t be done in bed.

in the text the words for (Ex.3, p. 31 by Oksana Karpiuk's textbook):

a period or a step in a process —

4 REM means “remember everything in
the morning”.
5 Our body is more active in the REM
stage.
