● Humans spend a third of their life sleeping, which is quite a lot if you think about it! "Good health needs good sleep." But not too much of it. People who sleep for more than nine hours a night die younger than people who usually sleep for seven or eight! In 1964 a high school student set the record for the longest period of time without sleep. He didn't sleep for 264.4 hours, which is 11 days! But don't try to repeat his experience as it is very harmful for your health. You may find it very difficult to fall asleep if the temperature of your room is too high. In order to fall asleep, our body temperature has to decrease slightly and if the room is too warm it can keep this from hap- pening and keep us from sleeping. Most parents lose between 400 and 750 hours of sleep in each child's first year. A giraffe only needs 1.9 hours of sleep a day. It's not many in compari- son with a brown bat that needs 19.9 hours of sleep a day. A cat spends two thirds of its life asleep. It's not a surprise for most cat owners who find their pets on their favourite seat or a computer key- board. Do you know that people can take short cat naps with our eyes open and without losing our balance?​
