    Listening skills practice: A good nights sleep transcript
    Transcript for A good nights sleep

    Host: At exam time it is important to sleep well. Today we have Doctor Baker with us in the studio
    and he is going to give us five top tips for getting a good nights sleep. Welcome to the
    show, Doctor Baker.

    Dr Baker: Thank you. Its great to be here. Lets start with tip one. Dont go to bed with the television
    on. Some people think they can sleep well with the TV on, but the noise and lights mean
    you dont really sleep well, so turn it off!
    Tip two: Dont think too much before bedtime. Do your hardest homework earlier in the
    evening. Do easier homework later. If your brain is too busy and full of ideas it takes longer
    to get to sleep.
    Tip three: Dont play video games for an hour before you go to sleep. They also make your
    brain too busy and active.
    Tip four: Turn off your cell phone when you go to bed. What is so important that it cant wait
    until the morning? If possible, leave your phone in another room.
    Tip five: Play music if you like. But dont play it too loud. Turn the sound down low.

    Host: Thank you, Doctor. That is very useful advice for our young listeners.
