A
Tony. My sleep problem is really quite serious, but a lot of people think that it’s normal
and even funny. I snore at night when I’m asleep – and my wife says that it’s pretty loud!
Now, I know snoring isn’t unusual and there is a lot of advice on how to stop someone
snoring, but my snoring is different! It’s linked to something called sleep apnoea. When
you snore it means that you can’t keep your throat open when you’re asleep. In my case,
I actually stop breathing for ten seconds or more. It worries my wife but I always wake
up afterwards!
B
Lizzie. My problem is very unusual and most people have never heard of it. It’s called
narcolepsy and it has changed my whole life. Narcolepsy is when people fall asleep
anywhere at any time and they can’t stop it. Since the problem started I’ve had to stop
working because you can’t do a good job if you fall asleep in the middle of a conversation!
My friends have been very supportive but I don't like going out now because I get
embarrassed about it and also I’ve had to stop driving as it’s much too dangerous. I go to
a special sleep clinic now and they’re helping me a lot.
C
Robert. I’ve had this sleep problem since I was a child and I know a lot of people who
have the same problem. It’s called insomnia and it means I sleep very badly. Sometimes
I can’t get to sleep for hours and sometimes I go to sleep OK, but I wake up in the middle
of the night and then I can’t get back to sleep again. It’s horrible because the next day I
can’t concentrate on my work. The doctor gave me sleeping tablets, but I don’t like taking
them because they make me feel bad the next day.
II. Read the text and answer the questions.
It is possible that colours may influence our health. Over two thousand years ago, scientists and philosophers wrote of the healing powers of colour, while in ancient Egypt temples were designed so that sunlight shone through precious stones to create a mystical red light. We now refer to this belief about the powers of colour as ‘ colour therapy’. Therapists claimthat we can alter how we feel emotionally by making use of different colours in rooms to lighten our mood. Claims have even been made that different colours can be helpful in the treatment of conditions such as insomnia, toothache and depression.
