D Teenagers are damaging their health by not getting enough sleep because they are distracted(分散 ) by electronic products in their bedrooms, according to a survey. UK advice body The Sleep Council said junk sleep could rival(比得上) the consumption of unhealthy junk food as a major lifestyle issue for parents of teenage children. It brings no less harm than junk food to one’s health. Its survey of 1,000 teenagers aged 12 to 16 found that 30 percent managed just 4 to 7 hours sleep as opposed to(形成對照) the remended 8 or 9 hours by the experts. Almost a quarter said they fell asleep more than once a week while watching TV, listening to music or using other electronic products. “This is an extremely worrying situation,” said Dr Chris Idzikowski of the Edinburgh Sleep Centre. “What we are seeing is the appearance of Junk Sleep that is sleep which is of neither the length nor quality that it should be in order to feed the brain with the rest it needs to perform properly at school.” Nearly all the teenagers had a phone, music system or TV in their bedroom, with around twothirds possessing all three.

How to Avoid Junk Sleep E Are traditional fairytales good all the time?

The survey of 2,000 adults was carried out to mark the launch of the hit US drama GRIMM(格林 ), which starts tonight at 9:00 pm on Watch, and sees six series based on traditional fairytales. The research found a quarter of parents wouldn’t consider reading a fairytale to their child until they had reached the age of five, as they cause too many awkward(尷尬的) questions.
