There are many ways to help improve your health like eating healthy food, taking exercise and getting medical help. But the easiest and cheapest way to improve your health is just to sleep eight hours or more every night. The general sleeping rule is that the younger you are, the longer sleep you need. But regardless of(不管)age, some people need to sleep more while for some a few hours is enough.
The problem with sleep is that more and more people in the world are not sleeping enough. According to the World Health Organization, over half the people in the world may be sleep - deprived. Having less sleep not only makes people feel tired but also causes accidents. In the United States alone, sleepy drivers cause at least 100,000 traffic accidents a year. Also, sleep problems can cause medical problems such as high blood pressure(血压).
★ Part of the reasons may be cultural. In the American culture, people put a higher value on work than on sleep. In fact, people who sleep a lot are usually seen as "lazy". Also, you can sometimes hear some people say proudly that they don't have much time to sleep. They only sleep four or five hours a night. It seems that the less you sleep, the more work you'll do.
How do we teach these people to learn the value of sleep? Perhaps they may listen to the advice of Dr. James Maas, an expert in sleep. He says, "Sleep is like a credit card(信用卡). When you sleep less, you are only borrowing time. You always have to pay it back. The more hours you don't sleep, the more hours you should sleep to 'pay back' the hours on your sleep credit card."
For those who value work more than sleep, they should listen to what a famous person once said, "Don't think you will be doing less work because you sleep during the night. That is a foolish idea which is held by people who have no imagination. You will be able to do more."

### 文章部分
有很多方法可以帮助改善你的健康，比如吃健康的食物、锻炼和寻求医疗帮助。但改善健康最简单且最便宜的方法就是每晚睡八个小时或更长时间。一般的睡眠规律是，你越年轻，需要的睡眠时间就越长。但不管年龄大小，有些人需要更多的睡眠，而有些人只需要几个小时就够了。
睡眠的问题在于，世界上越来越多的人睡眠不足。根据世界卫生组织的数据，世界上超过一半的人可能睡眠不足。睡眠不足不仅会让人感到疲倦，还会导致事故。仅在美国，困倦的司机每年就会造成至少10万起交通事故。此外，睡眠问题还会引发诸如高血压之类的健康问题。
★部分原因可能是文化方面的。在美国文化中，人们更看重工作而非睡眠。事实上，睡得多的人通常被视为“懒惰”。而且，你有时会听到一些人自豪地说他们没有太多时间睡觉。他们每晚只睡四五个小时。似乎你睡得越少，做的工作就越多。
我们如何教导这些人认识到睡眠的价值呢？也许他们会听取睡眠专家詹姆斯·马斯博士的建议。他说：“睡眠就像一张信用卡。当你睡眠不足时，你只是在借时间。你总是要偿还的。你不睡的时间越多，你就需要睡更多的时间来‘偿还’你睡眠信用卡上的时间。”
对于那些重视工作多于睡眠的人，他们应该听听一位名人曾经说过的话：“不要以为你因为晚上睡觉就会少做工作。这是一种没有想象力的人所持有的愚蠢想法。你会做得更多。”
