If you want to sleep better, try to go to bed at the same time each night, even on weekends. Avoid coffee late in the day, because it can keep your brain active for hours. Keep your phone away from your bed, so you are not tempted to look at messages. A short evening walk and a dark, quiet room can also help. Small changes are often more effective than big plans you cannot keep.

20. From a countryside story

Fourteen-year-old David Brown lives in a small village in Scotland, far from the nearest town. His classmates in the city can meet after school, go to a café, or play sports in a park without much planning. David’s situation is different. If he wants to see friends, he must take a bus for about an hour, and the bus does not come often. Because of that, he usually goes straight home on weekdays and spends time alone, reading, playing games, or helping his parents. He enjoys the quiet countryside, especially when he wants to focus, but sometimes he feels lonely and wishes he could join his friends more often. His parents hope he will join a local sports club soon, so he can meet people nearby and feel less alone during weekends.
