Read the following web article and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F). Getting a good sleep is as important as having a balanced diet or taking regular exercise. Though sleep requirements differ from person to person, most adults need 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night. Poor night sleep can put your health and safety at risk, which is why it's vital that you prioritise and protect your sleep on a daily basis. Numerous studies have connected the lack of sleep with weight gain. A 2020 analysis found that adults who slept fewer than 7 hours per night had a 41% increased risk of running into weight problems. Increasingly high levels of a hormone called ghrelin that makes us feel hungry are reached with the lack of sleep. As a result, we tend to eat more calories and easily become obsessed. The matter can be worsened when exhaustion after a night of too little sleep may make you become unmotivated to work out, go for a walk or any other physical activities. A specific study on overworked employees has also provided a good example of the relation between sleep and concentration. It found out that doctors with moderate and high sleep-related problems were 54% and 96% more likely to make clinically medical errors. 1. 7 to 9 hours per night are a required amount of sleeping time for adults. ________ 2. 41 per cent of adults who do not have enough sleep have weight problems. ________ 3. Ghrelin, the hormone that makes us feel hungry usually wakes us from sleep. ________ 4. The lack of sleep makes us too tired to work out at gyms or take physical exercise. ________ 5. Doctors who have more sleep-related problems face a stronger possibility of making professional mistakes. ________ III. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. Almost everyone's exercise habits changed when the Covid-19 started. Data from more than 400,000 users of smartphone step-counting apps concluded that around the world, average daily steps declined by about 27 percent by the end of the first month. The more dramatic drop in the time people spent working out was observed among those who had been the most active before the pandemic. After the lockdowns were lifted, most people began exercising again. However, in general, only those older than 65 exceeded the previous minutes of taking part in physical activities. On average, they added 20 minutes more to the time they had usually spent on regular exercise. Older people probably had more free time for exercise than younger adults who are trying to deal with child care, work and many other responsibilities. Moreover, with old age as a condition of Covid-19 cases and deaths, it stands to psychological reason that older people might have worried more about their general health, motivating them to get up and do activities that improve their fitness. A study has also shown that since the lockdown measures were adopted, many people reached their general practitioners to ask about the appropriate intensity of physical activities that they could do at home. The doctors made a list of light activities that one could do at home and reduce time spent sitting or lying down and break up long periods of not being able to do moderate and high intensity activities. The list contains moving around their home, cleaning and dusting, making the bed and walking at a slow pace.
