1. Because good sleep reduces the chances of getting sick, helps us think better and worry less.
2. One day, Misaki was yawning at her desk. Her co-worker said, "You always look so tired. Why don't you see a doctor?" Misaki thought it was a good idea. The next day, Misaki was at the doctor's office. The doctor was checking her health. He suggested she get more sleep. A week later, Misaki was at work again. She was feeling happy and refreshed.
